The group is open to attorneys ranging from second-year associates through highly experienced senior associates, with title and compensation calibrated to experience, litigation capability and overall fit.

This is a strong opportunity for attorneys who want a broad civil‑defense practice with meaningful case ownership, direct client interaction and substantial litigation responsibility.

The team represents both insurers and insured clients and is experienced in handling high-exposure cases from initial investigation through settlement, dispositive motion practice and trial.

The firm is particularly known for hands‑on litigation. Attorneys are expected to develop strong case strategy, communicate directly with clients and carriers, and take meaningful responsibility for the matters they handle.

Why join us? Work Structure

The role operates on a hybrid model with approximately three days per week in office.

The firm does not maintain a rigid one-size‑fits-all billable target for this opening; expectations are based more broadly on productivity, contribution, experience level and performance.

In addition to base salary, the firm offers a highly competitive performance‑based bonus structure, with strong-performing attorneys commonly earning approximately $50,000–$60,000 in annual bonus compensation.

Senior candidates with substantial litigation experience will be considered toward the upper end of the range.

This role is particularly attractive for attorneys seeking:

• A respected Texas defense platform
• A broad insurance defense and general liability docket
• Meaningful case ownership
• Direct carrier and client interaction
• Substantial deposition, hearing and trial exposure
• Flexibility for both developing and highly experienced litigators
• A true hybrid schedule
• Strong bonus upside
• Long-term stability and advancement within an established litigation practice

The firm is actively hiring at multiple experience levels and is open to both strong developing associates and seasoned senior litigators.
