POSITION SUMMARY: The firm has a highly active Litigation Team of Trial Attorneys and their support staff, responsible for representing the firm's clients after pre-suit and through the conclusion of the case, whether via settlement or trial. This includes working together in preparing for and trying numerous jury trials throughout Florida each year.
Trial Attorneys each have approximately 35-40 files and work directly with at least one paralegal and a team of legal assistants to assist them with ongoing cases and in preparation for trial.
Trial Attorneys are not required to market for cases, although you are welcome to do so and you will be entitled to a generous referral fee should you bring a case into the firm.
At Kanner & Pintaluga, you do not need to worry about the business of running a law firm, but rather you can focus on being the best litigator and Trial Attorney you can be. We have a structured chain of command in order to support the Trial Attorneys and staff with the goal of improving our work environment and continuing to make every employee more efficient. We also consistently send Trial Attorneys to seminars and workshops for them to continually improve their trial skills. Finally, Trial Attorneys will not deal with any pre-litigation or pre-suit cases at all. Our Litigation Team is dedicated solely to litigation.
Trial Attorneys are compensated with a base salary, commensurate with experience, and a guaranteed bonus structure based on a percentage of the fees you obtain. Our caseload is growing and the ideal candidate for this position is organized, professional, responsible, and committed to helping us meet our clients' needs.
