Overview

Partner - Construction Litigation | South Florida

Build the Next Chapter of Your Practice at Kelley Kronenberg

Kelley Kronenberg is actively expanding its Construction Practice across South Florida and is seeking an entrepreneurial, Partner-level Attorney with a focus on Construction and Construction Defect Litigation. If you are a high-performing attorney with an existing book of business-whether operating independently or at a mid-sized firm-and you're ready to scale your impact and grow a team in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment, we want to hear from you.

This is an exceptional opportunity for:

• Attorneys who currently represent general contractors, subcontractors, developers, and other key stakeholders in the construction industry, and are looking for a platform that can support larger casework, deeper resources, and robust firm-wide collaboration.

• Partners at mid-sized firms who are interested in a more flexible and innovative business model-one that rewards performance and initiative, and that supports both personal and team growth.

• Ambitious solo practitioners or small-firm attorneys ready to take the next step and integrate their practice into a full-service, modern law firm infrastructure.

• Collaborative Firm Culture: You'll join a firm that values mentorship, team leadership, and innovation, with the autonomy to shape your own practice.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in construction litigation, ideally with a focus on construction defect defense and representation of construction companies.

• A track record of business development success and/or an existing portable book of business.

• A leadership mindset, with interest in mentoring attorneys and building out a practice group.

• A commitment to providing exceptional client service and maintaining strong industry relationships.
