Senior Litigation Attorney Motion & Briefing Practice

Our growing North Texas litigation firm is seeking an experienced Senior Litigation Attorney with a strong background in motion practice and legal briefing to join our expanding team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a highly skilled writer who enjoys shaping case strategy, drafting persuasive arguments, and working on complex litigation in both state and federal courts.

This is not an insurance defense volume practice. This role is ideal for attorneys coming from large firm, boutique litigation, or federal clerkship backgrounds seeking sophisticated work without Big Law bureaucracy.

The ideal candidate is a confident legal writer with approximately 8–12 years of litigation experience and a demonstrated ability to independently draft and respond to dispositive motions, including:

• Motions for Summary Judgment
• Rule 12 motions
• Daubert motions
• Discovery motions
• Appellate‑style briefing

You will work closely with firm leadership on high‑exposure matters and play a critical role in case strategy from early evaluation through trial.

• Licensed and in good standing with the Texas Bar
• Minimum 8+ years of litigation experience
• Exceptional legal research and writing skills
• Extensive motion practice experience in state and federal courts
• Ability to manage complex briefing with minimal supervision
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills
• Judicial clerkship or appellate experience is a plus but not required

Our firm offers the sophistication of complex litigation with the agility and culture of a growing practice.

• Competitive compensation ($180,000 – $210,000+, commensurate with experience)
• Performance‑based bonus opportunities
• Reasonable billable expectations
• Hybrid work flexibility
• Direct partner access
• High‑level litigation work
• A clear path for professional growth

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated attorney seeking a long‑term platform with a firm that is actively expanding its litigation footprint in North Texas.

Confidential inquiries are welcome.

• 8–12 years of civil litigation experience
• Licensed and in good standing with the Texas Bar
• Demonstrated experience drafting and arguing dispositive motions, including Motions for Summary Judgment
• Strong command of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
• Proven ability to manage briefing from initial research through final filing with minimal supervision
• Exceptional legal research, analytical reasoning, and persuasive writing skills
• Experience handling cases in both Texas state and federal courts
• Ability to evaluate legal risk and contribute meaningfully to litigation strategy
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines in active litigation matters
• Professional judgment and client‑facing communication skills

• Judicial clerkship or appellate experience
• Background in complex commercial, construction, employment, insurance, or business litigation
• Experience with Daubert motions and expert challenges
• Deposition and hearing experience
• Familiarity with e‑discovery platforms

Writing samples will be required for candidates selected for interviews. This single sentence dramatically improves applicant quality.

This position is best suited for an attorney who enjoys the intellectual side of litigation and wants to play a central role in shaping case strategy through written advocacy.
