About The Position

Join a litigation team where collaboration matters, mentorship is intentional, and your growth as an attorney is a firm-wide priority. Marshall Dennehey, a leading Am Law 200 civil defense law firm with over sixty years of continued service to our corporate, insurance, and individual clients, is seeking an experienced attorney with 10 or more years of litigation experience to join our Orlando, Florida team. This is an exceptional opportunity for the candidate to handle a variety of cases including premises and retail liability, amusement park liability, auto liability, rideshare liability, and commercial trucking cases for our Fortune 500 clients. This team works as a unit and the ideal candidate is one who thrives in a collaborative environment. The candidate’s cases will range from moderate exposure matters to catastrophic losses, including fatalities. It is expected that the candidate will be able to effectively manage cases from inception to trial with support from other attorneys, paralegals and administrative staff. Past trial experience is a plus. At Marshall Dennehey, we invest in our attorneys. While you are not expected to independently manage cases from inception through trial on day one, you will work closely with experienced shareholders and associates who are committed to mentoring and skill development. Through hands-on experience, continuous feedback, and individualized goal-setting, you will gain the confidence and capability to grow into full case management at your own pace. Strong analytical thinking, legal writing, research, and communication skills are highly valued—and continuously refined—within our litigation groups. We pride ourselves on a diverse, inclusive, and open-door culture where ideas are welcomed, collaboration is encouraged, and attorneys at all levels have direct access to leadership. Our attorneys thrive because they are supported. Marshall Dennehey seeks attorneys who are looking for a true “forever home.” We value steady career growth, internal advancement, and attorneys who want to build lasting professional relationships—while helping others succeed along the way. Marshall Dennehey is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer (AA/M/F/D/V) and is deeply committed to fostering workplace diversity.
