What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Attorney position at Wyman Legal Solutions?
Our law firm is positioned as Florida's Premier Residential Construction Law Firm for Homeowners. We help homeowners before, during, and after their custom home builds and major home renovation projects. We provide advice, guidance, and contract drafting services to homeowners before projects. We provide ongoing advice and guidance as a Renovation Concierge during projects. We provide fixed-fee pre-litigation services to homeowners when their projects go sideways in terms of time, money, and quality of work. We provide litigation services in select cases. This is a niche within the construction law niche that we are currently set to dominate through value-added services and creative billing models (not just hourly rates). We also represent a select group of contractors with their contracts and collections/lien issues.
The firm is on track for aggressive growth, and we need a client-service-oriented, full-time associate attorney experienced in handling disputes between contractors and owners to join our team to spearhead these legal services.
The role involves providing legal advice and guidance to homeowners regarding their construction projects, supervising and directing the work of legal assistants and contract attorneys (when necessary), negotiating on behalf of homeowners with contractors or other lawyers, and all phases of pre-trial litigation. Our clients have very real-life problems affecting their living situations at home and come to us to help resolve them swiftly. So, we help them creatively resolve their issues as promptly as possible, using litigation only as a last resort.
Our office is in East Boca Raton. This position can be filled by a Florida-licensed attorney working in person, remotely, or hybrid. If you live within driving distance of our office, you will be expected to work in-office at least part-time.
Applicants submitting cover letters explaining what attracts them to this position will be given priority.
