We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Opening paragraph: "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." Then description. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications" (maybe combine?), "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay". Schedule not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. The title is "Build Your Next Chapter With a Team That Will Make You a Better Trial Lawyer". Not to be used as heading. We need to include only sections with real content. Let's extract content. From posting: - Intro: "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." - "The Work" section: "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." - "The Attorney Who Will Thrive Here": bullet-like paragraphs: "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." - "Two Trial Lawyers in Your Corner": description of mentors. - "Based in Central Florida. Built for Growth." etc. - "Come Grow With Us": concluding paragraph. - Then "RESPONSIBILITIES" list: bullet points (each line starting with capital letter). We need to capture each as
  • . 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 - "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 - "Compensation Package" paragraph: base salary range $150,000 - 190,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. Attorneys are eligible for an annual billable hours bonus ranging from $10,000 and then aggregating with $7,500 for every additional tier. Comprehensive 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/month. Paid parental leave at base pay.

We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role (intro + The Work + Attorney Who Will Thrive Here + Two Trial Lawyers + Based in Central Florida + Come Grow With Us). Could be combined as "About the role". That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (list) (maybe also Qualifications? but we have Requirements covering qualifications; we could also have Skills section for proficiency etc. But we can keep Requirements as is; maybe also Skills separate for proficiency in MS Suite etc. But we can include those under Requirements; it's okay. - Benefits (list) - Pay (compensation details) We should not include Schedule (none). Also not include Qualifications separate if we already have Requirements. We need to use

    for each section heading. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

      . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can combine paragraphs into

      as appropriate. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal copy, notices, "Click here to learn more about the Tyson & Mendes Office! (944) The Tyson & Mendes Office - YouTube", "Follow along with the firm on Twitter and LinkedIn, or visit www.tysonmendes.com." Also "Equal Opportunity Employer Notice" and the legal copy after that. Also "No recruiters/agencies Pay Range: $150,000 USD - $190,000 USD". Also the line "Please note: An active Florida Bar license is required for this position." This is substantive (requirement) but it's also a note; we should keep it maybe in Requirements. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Now craft HTML. Structure:

      About the role

      ... combined intro paragraphs ...

      But we have multiple paragraphs; we can separate into multiple

      tags. We need to include all substantive info from intro sections: The opening paragraph after the note, 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. Let's extract them exactly as text, preserving meaning. Original text: "There’s a point in your litigation career when the right opportunity isn’t simply about finding another firm.

Note there is no space after "The Work". We'll add space. Next: "The Attorney Who Will Thrive HereWe’re looking for someone who takes pride in excellent work product.
