Our client is a respected boutique litigation firm based in Coral Gables, Florida, known for delivering sophisticated, high-quality legal representation across complex commercial matters. They are seeking an experienced Commercial Litigation Attorney to join their team in a fully remote capacity — a rare opportunity to do substantive, challenging work with a firm that values expertise, autonomy, and results.
This is a true end-to-end litigation role. The ideal candidate is a self-directed attorney who can own a matter from inception through resolution — with the judgment and presence to do it well.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Draft and argue motions, pleadings, briefs, and dispositive filings in both state and federal court
• Conduct and defend depositions, manage discovery, and oversee e-discovery processes
• Develop and execute litigation strategy in collaboration with supervising partners and clients
• Appear in Florida state and federal courts as needed
• Conduct legal research, prepare memoranda, and provide substantive legal analysis
• Supervise and mentor junior associates and paralegal staff as appropriate
• Maintain strong client relationships through clear, proactive communication and updates
• Manage deadlines, docketing, and compliance with court rules and local practices
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• 5+ years of commercial litigation experience at a law firm — boutique, mid-size, or large firm background all considered
• Demonstrated experience managing litigation matters end-to-end with minimal supervision
• Substantive experience in both Florida state court and federal court proceedings
• Strong drafting skills — motions, briefs, and discovery in complex commercial matters
• Deposition and courtroom experience preferred
• Active Florida Bar membership in good standing required
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and meet deadlines in a remote environment
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
PRACTICE AREAS — PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
• Business disputes, breach of contract, and commercial torts
• Partnership and shareholder disputes
• Real estate and construction litigation
• Professional liability
• Injunctive relief and emergency proceedings
DETAILS
• Work arrangement: Fully remote
• Client location: Coral Gables, Florida
• Employment type: Full-time
• Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with experience — open to discussion
• Bar admission: Florida Bar required; federal court admission a plus
