Associate Attorney

We were founded in 2021 with the mission to become the premier community development district (CDD) and special district law firm in Florida. With three offices in Florida (Tallahassee, Tampa, and Jacksonville) and rapid growth, we are looking to add an associate attorney to our Tampa or Tallahassee teams (though Orlando or SE Florida is also possible!)

We take pride in serving as solution-oriented members of our client’s team, focused on relationships and executing on policy and business goals provided by those we serve. We embrace the same attitude internally and strongly believe in training and cultivating individual lawyer talents and professional growth. We have a strong belief in our core values that all center on teamwork, and it informs the way we practice and related internally and externally, including the continual commitment to excellence. We think our culture is one of our greatest assets.

We are seeking an energetic, intelligent, and motivated associate attorney to join the Firm. While the right candidate may live anywhere in Florida, Tampa is the primary geographic area for which we are recruiting. The ideal candidate will have 0 to 3 years of prior legal experience, an interest in working with public entities and a demonstrated interest in business, policy, finance, construction and/or local government law. We work with a wide range of dynamic development-related and governmental clients with complex subject matter and offer the chance to practice in a unique and exciting environment.

We are looking for someone who graduated in the top 15% of your law school class or similar demonstrated academic credentials, excellent writing and research skills, public speaking ability and the willingness to immediately work directly with clients. Interest or exposure to public finance or real estate and other transactional work is desired. Relevant education, background or experience may include, but is not limited to, public financing, ethics and conflicts of interest for government, public contracting and procurement, land use, construction law, real estate, and legislative affairs/public policy. This position is expected to involve travel within the state of Florida to attend client meetings on a regular basis.

You should have the following:

• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school
• Licensed to practice law in Florida
• Strong academic credentials (top 15%) or other notable work history
• Strong writing and research skills
• Comfortable with public speaking
• Self-motivated and intellectually curious
• Enjoys a team oriented culture
