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.

Why Kelley Kronenberg?

We are not your traditional law firm. Our business model is designed for Partners who think like entrepreneurs, value autonomy, and want real support to grow their practice. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Top-Tier Talent Acquisition Team: We handle recruiting and scaling your team, so you can focus on strategy and client delivery.

• 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.
