Description:

HD Law Partners is hiring a litigation associate with 3–5 years of experience for our Tampa office. We are building a dedicated carrier-defense practice, INSDEF (insdef.com), while also growing our business, commercial, and construction litigation work. We want an attorney who wants to grow with both.

Why This Role
At many firms, insurance defense is just one practice area among many. We are deliberately building a recognizable carrier-defense brand, which gives our attorneys real client relationships, a stronger professional profile, and a hand in shaping the practice.

Work directly with experienced litigators who value responsiveness, strategic thinking, and practical solutions
Meaningful courtroom and client-facing experience from the start
Exposure to commercial and construction litigation, as well as insurance defense
Long-term growth path / partnership track

What We're Looking For:
Required:

Licensed to practice law in Florida
3–5 years of litigation experience
Excellent written and oral advocacy skills
Strong analytical, organizational, and case management abilities

Strongly preferred:

Carrier-side insurance defense experience representing insurers in litigation
Prior experience as staff counsel or as an insurance claims adjuster. You already understand what carriers expect from defense counsel.

Also valuable:

Construction, commercial, business, or general civil litigation experience
An interest in practicing beyond a single niche and helping build a growing team
