Company Description
This is a North Dallas-based, boutique litigation firm that is growing very quickly! Due to the nature of the work, the firm is fertile ground for candidates looking to enhance their expertise and sharpen their litigation skills. The firm empowers its Associates to take ownership of their files and not just push papers or wait on assignments. You will do best here if you have an entrepreneurial mindset, are comfortable operating in a dynamic work environment and can create structure, bring initiative, and make good judgments in your daily activities. The firm provides access to all levels of firm leadership, real-time performance feedback, and hands-on mentoring from experienced litigators with meaningful individual responsibility early in your role. Additionally, this opportunity offers:
- Real trial exposure from the start
- Direct access to firm leadership and one-on-one mentorship
- Early ownership and autonomy (with support)
- A culture that rewards initiative, problem-solving, and continuous learning
The firm is focused on professional liability defense (healthcare / med-mal), insurance defense, products liability, and non-subscriber employee injury defense.
Role Description
We are currently seeking a Litigation Associate (Texas-licensed) who is eager to take initiative in working cases and to grow with a trial-driven team.

Key Requirements
Must-Haves

- Strong writing, organization, and consistent follow-through (you will be trusted with real responsibility early)
Sets You Apart
