What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Attorney position at Seraph Legal, P.A.?
Seraph Legal is a small, rapidly growing consumer rights law firm in Tampa, and we're hiring an associate attorney.
What you'll do
You will represent consumers against:
- Lenders engaged in usurious, unlawful, or predatory lending (including RICO claims)
- Debt collectors engaged in unlawful collection practices (FDCPA, FCCPA)
- Credit reporting agencies and furnishers engaged in false or defamatory credit reporting (FCRA)
- Similar bad actors, as they arise
Most cases are individual actions; some may be class actions. As time allows, we also handle other matters on a limited basis, such as product mislabeling.
You will carry a substantial caseload from day one, so the ability to manage many matters at once, prioritize, and switch gears quickly is essential. Occasional local travel (usually within a two-hour drive of Tampa) will be required for pre-trial hearings, mediation conferences, and similar appearances.
What we offer
- Base salary plus a substantial production bonus, paid quarterly
- Fully company-paid health insurance
- Retirement plan with 3% employer match. Note we offer a Simple IRA retirement plan, not a 401(k). However, Indeed had no tag for Simple IRA, so, here we sit.
- Paid time off, including all federal holidays
- Hybrid schedule, with a minimum of two days per week in the office
- Opportunity to grow and learn from some of the best consumer attorneys in Florida
- Real advancement opportunities: two of our partners started here as associates
- Multiple company-paid "happy hours" each year, ranging from Rays games to fine dining to... not-so-fine dining
To be crystal clear about compensation: the bonus is a large part of your total pay, and there is a very realistic opportunity to earn six figures in your first year. Your production will have to justify it.
Who we're looking for
- Admitted to practice in Florida and in good standing with The Florida Bar (required)
- Admission in other states is a big plus. California is the biggest plus of all.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to write and speak persuasively
- Spanish fluency is helpful but not required
- The right personality to fit in with a hard-working, but fun, team
This position is ideal for early-career attorneys. As cliché as it sounds, your work ethic, drive, and desire to get ahead matter more to us than your résumé. So do common sense, the ability to learn quickly, and a knack for Sherlock Holmes-style deductive reasoning. Our cases turn on details that other people miss. NO RECRUITERS. Please.
