We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "The Work", "The Attorney Who Will Thrive Here", "Two Trial Lawyers in Your Corner", "Based in Central Florida. Built for Growth.", "Come Grow With Us". Also "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Compensation Package", "Benefits", "About Tyson & Mendes". Also maybe "Pay" and "Schedule" not present; we should not create them unless present. The posting includes compensation details in "Compensation Package". So we need a Pay section? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we need to decide which headings to use based on content. We have content for: - About the role? There's introductory paragraph: "Build Your Next Chapter With a Team That Will Make You a Better Trial Lawyer ..." Could be considered "About the role". We'll include an

About the role

with that prose. - Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Requirements: list bullet points. - Qualifications? Not separate; maybe covered in Requirements. We'll not create Qualifications if no distinct content. - Skills? Not separate. - Benefits: list bullet points. - Pay: we have compensation details; we can create

with that content. - Schedule: not present; skip. - About Tyson & Mendes: we have a section; we can use

About Tyson & Mendes

. Also there is "The Work", "The Attorney Who Will Thrive Here", "Two Trial Lawyers in Your Corner", "Based in Central Florida. Built for Growth.", "Come Grow With Us". Those could be considered part of About the role or separate sections? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine those narrative paragraphs under About the role. But we already have About the role heading; we could include all narrative content there. However we also have separate sections like Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, About Tyson & Mendes. That seems sufficient. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? Must preserve meaning, not invent. We can keep the text as is, but we need to format into HTML with

for prose and

  • for lists. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the Equal Opportunity Employer Notice, the legal copy, the "NOTICE TO APPLICANTS/EMPLOYEES..." and the "No recruiters/agencies". Also the "Apply today and come see what you can build at Tyson & Mendes." is application instruction? Probably should be removed as it's application instruction. Also "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office! (944) The Tyson & Mendes Office - YouTube" maybe navigation; remove. Also "Follow along with the firm on Twitter and LinkedIn, or visit www.tysonmendes.com." maybe boilerplate; remove. Also "Equal Opportunity Employer Notice" etc. Remove. Also need to remove duplicated lines: there is "Pay Range $150,000—$190,000 USD" at end; duplicate of compensation; we can keep only one. We need to preserve all substantive info: job description narrative, responsibilities list, requirements list, compensation details, benefits list, about Tyson & Mendes description. Let's extract substantive content: From top: "Build Your Next Chapter With a Team That Will Make You a Better Trial Lawyer Please note: An active Florida Bar license is required for this position. There's a point in your litigation career when the right opportunity isn't simply about finding another firm. It's about finding the right cases, the right mentors, and the right environment to keep growing. Tyson & Mendes is looking for an experienced Florida defense attorney to join a busy litigation team handling sophisticated, high-exposure matters throughout Central Florida. This is an opportunity for an attorney who already has a strong foundation in litigation but wants to sharpen their skills alongside attorneys who are regularly in the courtroom. You'll work closely with two of Tyson & Mendes' accomplished trial attorneys, Holly Howanitz and Stefani Cogsdale, gaining meaningful exposure to case strategy, motion practice, discovery, depositions, trial preparation, and trials themselves. If you're a strong writer, a thoughtful strategist, and the kind of attorney who takes ownership of your work while still wanting to learn from great lawyers, we'd love to meet you." Then "The Work" paragraph: "This isn't a volume practice built around handling the same type of case over and over. The team handles sophisticated and often high-exposure litigation, including trucking and motor vehicle matters, premises liability, surgical and medical-related cases, and other complex liability matters. You'll have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of your cases while collaborating closely with attorneys who care deeply about strategy, preparation, and getting the details right." Then "The Attorney Who Will Thrive Here": "We're looking for someone who takes pride in excellent work product. You're a strong legal writer, comfortable with substantive motion practice and discovery, and able to independently move assignments and cases forward. You're also coachable. You welcome thoughtful feedback because you want to keep getting better, and once expectations are clear, you can run with them. Ideally, you'll bring 5-8 years of litigation experience, including insurance defense, along with substantive experience in discovery and motion practice. Trial experience is highly valued, but if you haven't yet had significant courtroom opportunities, what matters is that you want them. Law Review or another demonstrated record of exceptional legal research and writing is particularly attractive for this team." Then "Two Trial Lawyers in Your Corner": "One of the biggest reasons to consider this opportunity is the leadership around you. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with Holly and Stefani, two highly experienced trial attorneys at Tyson & Mendes, on significant Florida matters. They are hands-on, engaged leaders who care about developing strong lawyers and producing exceptional work. This is a great fit for someone who wants genuine mentorship—not just a name assigned to them on an organizational chart. You'll be trusted to work independently, but you won't be left to figure everything out alone. As you build trust and demonstrate your capabilities, you'll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and continue developing as a litigator." Then "Based in Central Florida. Built for Growth.": "Stefani is based in Orlando and handles significant work throughout Central Florida, making Orlando an especially attractive location for this position. While the team is connected to our Jacksonville office, the role offers the opportunity to build alongside a growing presence in Central Florida without an expectation of constant travel. And because Tyson & Mendes is a national litigation firm, you'll have the resources, technology, training, and opportunities of a large organization while working closely with a team where your contribution is visible." Then "Come Grow With Us": "We're looking for an attorney who is smart, driven, detail-oriented, and excited to keep learning. Someone who wants challenging cases, meaningful responsibility, excellent mentors, and the opportunity to become an even stronger advocate. If that sounds like the next chapter you've been looking for, we'd love to start a conversation." Then "Responsibilities" list: - Develop a case theme that is more compelling than any plaintiff ploy for sympathy or anger - Refuse to accept mediocrity, the average, the standard or the norm in anything - Independently handle court appearances, depositions, briefs and trials - Work as part of a team with all levels of experiences - Routine communications with clients - Cultivate relationships with the firm's existing and future clients - Provide leadership and direction with respect to less experienced attorneys Then "Requirements" list: - JD from an ABA approved school - Must be licensed in your state - 8+ years of solid litigation experience, specifically with litigation support, deposition and trial preparation - Ability to manage full case handling responsibilities, including all facets of discovery and trial - Experience handling insurance defense matters preferred - Experience with time management systems - Proficiency in MS Suite, specifically Word, PowerPoint and Outlook - Ability to think and act independently and with minimal supervision - Outstanding listening, verbal and written communication skills - Professional appearance and demeanor Then "Compensation Package": "The base salary for this position ranges from $150,000 - 190,000 annually, depending on experience and qualificationsAttorneys are eligible for an annual billable hours bonus ranging from $10,000 and then aggregating with $7,500 for every additional tierComprehensive benefits coverage offered, including plans available at zero employee cost (average annual employer contribution for health/vision/dental/life coverage is $700-$1,700)Employees benefit from a 401(k) program that includes a 100% match on the first 3% contributed and a 50% match on the following 4-5%Student loan repayment assistance or 529 college savings plan (full-time attorneys after one year with the firm) $100-$200/monthPaid parental leave at base payEmployees receive a monthly technology reimbursement of $60" We need to format that as prose maybe with

    . Could also split into sentences. Then "Benefits" list: - Employee Assistance Program through HealthAdvocate - Comprehensive in-house training and leadership development opportunities - Firm Provided CLE Programs and Paid Bar License Renewal Fees - Flexible vacation policy for attorneys - Defined pathway to partnership - Internal diversity and inclusion programs, such as the Women's Initiative and Young Professionals Initiative - Firm-wide charitable giving program - Numerous social and off-site events each year to enrich your relationships with your colleagues - Flexible Work Model: Remote, hybrid, or onsite options available Then "About Tyson & Mendes": "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office! (944) The Tyson & Mendes Office - YouTube We're one of the fastest-growing civil defense firms in the country—known for breaking the mold of the traditional law firm. Our dynamic, diverse team of trial attorneys delivers exceptional results, from landmark cases like Howell v. Hamilton Meats to numerous defense verdicts across the nation.

With specialized training in our proven defense methods, clear paths to leadership, and robust professional development, we empower attorneys to grow their careers, build their personal brands, and become leaders in the field. Follow along with the firm on Twitter and LinkedIn, or visit www.tysonmendes.com." We need to remove boilerplate: the "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office! (944) The Tyson & Mendes Office - YouTube" and "Follow along with the firm on Twitter and LinkedIn, or visit www.tysonmendes.com." are likely navigation/promo; remove them. Keep the substantive description: "We're one of the fastest-growing civil defense firms in the country—known for breaking the mold of the traditional law firm.
