Freidin Brown, P.A. is looking for a sharp, self-starting associate attorney to join its plaintiffs' medical malpractice and personal injury team, working directly with the Managing Partner on high-stakes catastrophic injury and medical malpractice matters.
Freidin Brown, P.A. is a Miami-based plaintiffs' firm focused on medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, construction litigation, and insurance litigation, representing clients throughout Florida.
This is a long-term role for an attorney who wants to build a career trying serious injury and malpractice cases, with direct mentorship from the firm's managing partner and a clear path to greater case responsibility.
About the Role
From day one, the associate will assist with an active caseload of medical malpractice and personal injury matters, working closely with the managing partner and the paralegal team on case strategy, discovery, depositions, and trial preparation. Business development is not a primary expectation of this role; the firm's focus is on case execution and client service.
Key Responsibilities:
Assist with a caseload of medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death matters from intake through resolution
Draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, and other litigation documents
Prepare for (and eventually take and defend) depositions of parties, treating physicians, and expert witnesses
Work with the managing partner and paralegal staff to develop case strategy and trial preparation
Review and analyze medical records to identify and develop claims of negligence and damages
Communicate directly with clients to provide case updates and manage expectations
Attend hearings, mediations, and trials as needed
Coordinate with expert witnesses on causation, standard of care, and damages issues
Manage and oversee case deadlines to ensure compliance with all court deadlines
Requirements
Experience and background:
0–3 years of litigation experience, ideally in plaintiffs' medical malpractice or personal injury
Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills
Prior clerkship or law review experience preferred
Must-haves:
Active member in good standing of The Florida Bar
Highly intelligent, self-starting, and driven, with a strong academic and professional pedigree
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a client-focused approach
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple case deadlines independently
Benefits
Why This Role Stands Out:
Work directly with a respected trial attorney on catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases
Meaningful case responsibility and courtroom exposure early in your career
Collaborative, well-resourced team with an experienced paralegal supporting each matter
Competitive compensation with annual discretionary bonus tied to individual and firm performance
Strong benefits package including 401(k) with profit sharing, full health coverage, and free parking

Compensation and Benefits:
Salary: $120,000–$200,000, commensurate with experience
Annual discretionary bonus based on individual and firm performance
Full health care coverage and HSA (after 1 year of employment), plus dental and vision insurance
401(k) plan with profit sharing program participation
Life and disability insurance available
