This is a boutique commercial and contractual litigation firm based in Coral Gables, Florida. The firm handles real estate disputes, foreclosure defense, debt settlement, escrow disputes, and commercial and residential landlord-tenant matters. The practice is client-first — attorneys work directly with clients on case strategy, updates, and trial preparation.
The firm is growing and is hiring a senior and junior attorney simultaneously. The junior hire will have the rare opportunity to be mentored one-on-one by a seasoned senior litigator while building a strong foundation in commercial litigation.
