Defense Attorney

Morgan, Akins & Jackson, PLLC
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Good legal strategy depends on preparation, responsiveness, and the work happening behind the scenes long before a case reaches the courtroom.
At Morgan, Akins & Jackson PLLC , we’re looking for an experienced Workers’ Compensation Defense Paralegal who can bring that level of organization and ownership to our litigation team.
This is an opportunity to work closely with attorneys who value strong preparation, clear communication, and reliable litigation support. The work is fast-paced, the expectations are high, and your ability to stay ahead of deadlines and keep cases progressing will make a meaningful impact on both the team and the clients we represent.
We’re looking for someone who can anticipate needs before they become problems, stay composed in a demanding environment, and be the kind of teammate attorneys can rely on without constant oversight. The right person takes pride in producing accurate work, communicating proactively, and helping attorneys stay prepared and cases move efficiently from start to finish.
What We Offer
If you’re looking for a role where your experience is respected, your work matters, and you can operate with a high level of trust and autonomy, you’ll feel right at home here. You can expect a salary starting at $110,000 (commensurate with experience), plus:
  • Generous benefits package
  • Hybrid/remote flexibility
  • Direct collaboration with experienced litigation attorneys
  • A supportive, team-oriented environment with high professional standards
  • Long-term career stability and professional growth opportunities
What You’ll Do
  • Draft, review, and prepare legal documents related to workers’ compensation defense matters
  • Maintain and organize case files
  • Manage attorney calendars, scheduling, and deadlines
  • Coordinate case activity and support attorneys throughout all phases of litigation
  • Meet yearly billable requirements
What You Bring
  • 3+ years of workers’ compensation defense paralegal experience required
  • Experience with Florida workers’ compensation procedures
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple deadlines effectively
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a team-oriented environment
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to stay proactive in a fast-paced practice
