Senior Litigation Attorney — Business Disputes

We are not your typical law firm. KEW Legal, P.A. is a boutique business and real estate law firm in Sunny Isles Beach, FL, and we are growing quickly. We currently have a team of 10 and are seeking an experienced, full-time Senior Litigation Attorney who can hit the ground running and carry an independent docket of business and commercial disputes. 

Seven (7) or more years of civil litigation experience is required, including first-chair trial, arbitration, or contested hearing experience. Experience in commercial and business litigation is preferred. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis. 

If you are good at this and your current firm hasn’t noticed, we would be interested in speaking with you. 

About the Role 

KEW Legal serves visionaries, investors, developers, and growing companies throughout Florida. Clients use us the way a company uses in-house counsel — for the deal in front of them and the strategy behind it. 

We want someone who tries cases. When clients come to us with a dispute, something they built is at stake — a contract, a partnership, a business relationship that has broken down. Often the other side has taken its position, assuming the client will fold. We need a litigator who can look at a matter, tell the client honestly whether it’s worth fighting, and then actually fight it: through discovery, through hearings, through trial or arbitration if that’s where it goes. 

This is an independent docket. You’ll own your matters outright, set strategy, and answer for the results. When your litigation calendar allows, you’ll also handle transactional work, such as commercial agreements, entity matters, and business counsel. This role does not carry real estate files; our real estate practice is handled separately. 

You’ll be our senior litigator. No one will be second-guessing your case strategy, which is exactly why we need someone whose judgment stands on its own from day one. 

Our mission is to provide strategic legal counsel while delivering an exceptional client experience built on trust, responsiveness, integrity, and results. The attorney in this seat is central to both. 

Does This Sound Like You? 

We are a small team, and at ten people, there are no passengers. To us, “team” means we win together, and we lose together: you will run your own docket, and what you do affects what the whole firm can accomplish. We look for people who anticipate problems, propose solutions, and carry their share without being asked. Your contributions will be recognized, appreciated, and rewarded. If you are motivated by overcoming challenges and by personal, professional, and financial growth, this could be the right place for you. 

Compensation:

• $160,000–$180,000 base, based on experience and billable target, + origination credit and performance bonus

• 10% origination credit on collections from files you bring in, plus a performance bonus  

Process: Finalists complete a written assessment and background check with consent.
