Bast Amron LLP—a boutique firm with a national reputation in bankruptcy, restructuring, and complex commercial litigation—is seeking a mid-level (3–7 years) associate who thrives in a high-expectation environment and aligns with our firm’s Core Values: Commit. Collaborate. Create. Communicate. Care.
We don’t hire to fill seats. We hire people who take ownership, bring creative thinking to legal challenges, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to clients, colleagues, and community. At Bast Amron, you will never be boxed in—you will be cross-trained, invited into strategy, and given meaningful responsibility early and often. Additionally, we actively support and encourage our associates’ growth as professionals and business developers through hands-on training, guidance, and direct investment.
What You’ll Do
- Work side by side with partners and team members on sophisticated, high-stakes restructuring, insolvency, and litigation matters.
- Take an active role in developing case strategy, communicating with clients, and driving outcomes—not just executing tasks.
- Have responsibility for investigating claims and identifying supporting documents, preparing and arguing discovery and case-dispositive motions, taking and defending depositions, working directly with expert witnesses, and preparing for and taking cases to trial as part of trial teams.
Be part of a collaborative legal team that values preparation, thoughtful advocacy, and business-minded lawyering.
What We Expect
COMMIT – We expect full ownership. Clients’ problems become our problems. You follow through, take responsibility, and do what it takes to get it done—at 100% effort.
COLLABORATE – We operate as one team. You work seamlessly with partners, associates, paralegals, and clients without ego, and you welcome contribution from every level when it improves the work.
CREATE – We do not recycle answers. You think strategically, bring ideas to the table, and aren’t afraid to develop non-traditional solutions when challenged by the law or facts.
COMMUNICATE – You communicate professionally, clearly, and efficiently—with clients, the court, and internal teams. You don’t wait to be chased for status—you anticipate needs and keep the team informed.
CARE – Our “Care Factor” is non-negotiable. You take pride in your work, prepare like it matters (because it does), and you genuinely care about outcomes, relationships, and the firm’s reputation.
Qualifications
- 3–7 years of experience in restructuring/reorganization and/or complex commercial litigation.
- Bankruptcy/reorganization experience strongly preferred. If not, you must have a demonstrated understanding and genuine interest in learning.
- Proven research, writing, and oral advocacy skills, with readiness to appear in court, handle contested hearings, and participate in depositions and trial prep.
- Licensed to practice in Florida.
- Able to manage a varied caseload, prioritize independently, and perform under pressure and deadlines without constant supervision.
Organized, detail-focused, and self-directed—we give responsibility to those who earn it, and at Bast Amron, there is plenty to take.
Who Thrives Here
The ideal candidate is a high-achiever with strong internal drive, someone who:
- Performs at a high level without needing external motivation.
- Balances independence with teamwork.
- Wants responsibility—and earns it through preparation, communication, and accountability.
Brings energy, grit, and pride to their work and the team.
What You Get
- Competitive Compensation Package.
- Retirement benefits—401k and profit sharing.
- Health insurance—we pay 100% of your premiums.
- Direct investment by the firm to help build your career and brand.
- Mentorship from a top-notch team.
- A collaborative environment with no egos, no silos, and no complacency.
At Bast Amron, we work hard, prepare obsessively, support each other, and genuinely care about the work, our clients, and our colleagues.
