About The Position

Marshall Dennehey, P.C., an Am Law 200 civil defense firm with more than sixty years of service, is seeking a Senior Litigation Associate with five to nine or more years of civil litigation experience to join its Tampa office. This position offers the opportunity to handle complex, high-exposure matters for Fortune 500 clients in a collaborative and supportive environment. This is a hands-on role for an experienced litigator. Senior associates in this group are expected to manage matters from inception through resolution under the general direction of partners, with a high degree of autonomy and professional judgment. The practice includes premises and retail liability, negligent security, products liability, rideshare liability, construction defect and injury, public entity and civil rights, and commercial auto and trucking litigation. Many matters involve catastrophic losses, multiple claimants, and fatalities, requiring strong analytical skills, organization, and the ability to manage complex litigation efficiently and effectively. While senior associates work independently on their assigned matters, they also collaborate closely with partners and may assist in mentoring junior attorneys within the group. Our department has produced litigators who now lead teams, manage books of business, and handle serious matters throughout Florida. Marshall Dennehey is committed to helping attorneys build long-term careers, and we welcome candidates who are seeking a professional environment where they can continue to grow, contribute meaningfully, and develop over the long term.
