Highlights of the Opportunity

  • Join a small, elite trial boutique in downtown Houston handling some of the most challenging civil and criminal cases in Texas and across the U.S.
  • Work alongside a team that includes multiple former state and federal prosecutors with hundreds of jury trials under their belt.
  • True, hands-on trial practice – not a back-room research role. You’ll be in the mix on strategy, client meetings, depositions and courtroom appearances from day one.
  • Lean, collaborative team with a β€œall-in for the client” mentality and a strong reputation in both state and federal courts.

Role: Title: Commercial Litigation Associate (plaintiff-side focus, with exposure to complex civil and some criminal matters).

Experience: roughly 0–6 years’ post-qualification experience (big plus if you’ve clerked, handled hearings, drafted dispositive motions or taken depos).

Work:

o Draft pleadings, motions and appellate-level briefs in high-value commercial disputes.

o Handle discovery, depositions and evidentiary hearings with meaningful client contact.

o Support first-chair trial lawyers on complex, media-sensitive cases; opportunity to second-chair and grow into first-chair responsibility.

o Help shape case themes and trial strategy in a genuinely trial-driven practice.

Comp and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, up to $100k, plus discretionary/performance-based bonuses.
  • Benefits package including health insurance and standard firm benefits.
  • Significant long-term upside for attorneys who help drive results and business – this is a place where contribution is noticed and rewarded, not lost in a huge headcount.

Other Points of Interest

  • Trial-first culture: The firm lives in the courtroom – ideal for someone who wants to actually try cases, not just talk about them.
  • State & federal exposure: Matters span Texas state courts and federal courts nationwide, offering sophisticated, varied work.
  • Client care + fighter mentality: The team prides itself on being both trusted advisors and aggressive advocates when clients’ businesses, reputations or liberty are on the line.
  • Team-based model: Files are run collaboratively; you’ll learn directly from highly accomplished trial lawyers and former prosecutors, not through layers of hierarchy.
  • Interested:
