Litigation Associate

You’re a junior attorney in your first few years of practice.

You enjoy handling commercial litigation but feel like your classmates who joined mid-sized and boutique firms are getting more substantive experience.

Taking depositions. Arguing motions in court. Trial experience. They’re years ahead of you at this rate.

The senior attorneys and partners at your firm always seem to step in when things get interesting.

So back to doc review and drafting motions and memos it is.

This position is different.

We’re helping a Dallas-based boutique hire a junior Commercial Litigation Attorney, and this firm is built around early responsibility.

Junior associates take on real responsibility early here, including leading depositions in their first year.

You’ll be joining a busy commercial litigation team handling complex matters from day one.

The firm represents Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and startups, giving you exposure to a wide range of clients and disputes.

It’s the kind of firm former Big Law attorneys come to for substantive work, reasonable hours, and a genuinely relaxed culture.

On average, associates are considered for partnership within five years.

Salary is between $160-190k depending on experience.

If you have 1-3 years of commercial litigation experience and are barred in Texas, I’d love to talk.
