Senior Litigation Associate – Complex Casualty - 5 - 9 Yrs Experience - Tampa, FL

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. Responsibilities include evaluating liability and damages, preparing detailed client reports, taking and defending depositions, drafting and arguing substantive and dispositive motions, and managing all aspects of litigation on high-exposure cases.

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.

Marshall Dennehey offers a competitive salary, multiple bonus opportunities throughout the year, a comprehensive benefits package, and a firm-funded Lifestyle Account through the Marshall Associate Advantage program for associates. The firm is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a cover letter and resume for consideration.
