  • Collaborate with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders to evaluate case developments and recommend strategic next steps
  • Assist with trial preparation, including organizing evidence, developing arguments, and supporting courtroom presentation
  • Contribute to appellate projects when needed, including legal analysis, drafting, and issue preservation
  • Support a diverse litigation practice by assisting on commercial litigation and personal injury defense matters as case demands require

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of litigation experience, with a background in defense work strongly preferred
  • Active license to practice law in Texas
  • Demonstrated ability to produce clear, persuasive legal writing and perform strong legal research and document editing
  • Experience managing active case dockets and providing oversight or mentorship to entry-level legal professionals
  • Confident oral advocacy skills with the ability to represent clients effectively in depositions and court appearances
  • Ability to succeed in a fast-moving, collaborative legal environment while maintaining strong attention to detail
  • Detail-oriented, team-oriented approach with a consistent commitment to high-quality client service
  • Prior exposure to medical malpractice defense, appellate matters, commercial litigation, or personal injury defense is a plus
