About Us, Not Your Typical Law Firm:

Kearney Law isn’t your daddy’s law firm, and we don’t want to be. We’re a fast-growing, Florida-based litigation firm powered by sharp minds, strong individuals, bold ideas, and a relentless commitment to client success.

We run on teamwork, integrity, pink accents, and caffeine. If you thrive in a high-energy, no-drama environment where your voice actually matters and your work actually makes a difference, you’ll fit right in.

If you want to spend your days in a cubicle shuffling dusty files and pretending to look busy, this is not your place.

If you’re ready to grow, win, and do great work with people who care, welcome to Kearney Law.

Position - Associate Attorney:

We’re looking for a sharp, motivated Associate Attorney who’s ready to jump in, think fast, and handle cases that matter. You’ll work closely with our litigation team, take ownership of your cases, and deliver outstanding results for our clients.

This is your chance to join a modern firm that’s doing law differently.

What You’ll Do:

• Conduct in-depth legal research and draft persuasive arguments that actually win.
• Prepare pleadings, motions, contracts, and all other legal documents with precision.
• Handle litigation from intake to resolution (we mean all phases).
• Attend hearings, depositions, mediations, and other key proceedings.
• Collaborate with a supportive, highly skilled team on strategy and case development.
• Communicate directly with clients (we like humans here, not middlemen).
• Work with the team to hit all deadlines like your life depends on it, because sometimes it does.

If You Are:

• A licensed Florida attorney with a J.D. from an accredited law school.
• A strong legal writer and communicator (bonus points for creativity and clarity).
• Tech-savvy, proactive, and organized enough to make a calendar blush.
• Confident working independently but collaborative by nature.
• Experience in litigation preferred—but we’ll train the right person with grit and drive.
• Familiarity with FileVine = gold star (not required).

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay based on experience ($80,000–$150,000).
• 401(k), health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Paid time off (we actually want you to take it).
• Mentorship, growth opportunities, and real client-facing work from day one.
• A vibrant, supportive work culture with flexibility (and zero micromanagement).

When You Can Start:

We’d love you yesterday, but if you’re waiting out your end-of-year bonus at your current job, we get it.
Start now or right after New Year’s. Either way, we’ll be ready.

How to Apply:

If you’ve read this far (good sign already), email chelsea@kearneylaw.com with:

• Your résumé,
• A brief letter introducing yourself, and
• A legal writing sample you wrote yourself, no AI allowed. We’ll know. ;-)

Why Kearney Law?

Because we’re building something different.
Because we care about people and performance.
Because excellence and personality aren’t mutually exclusive.

If that sounds like your kind of place, stop scrolling job boards and join us.

Let’s build something amazing together.
