Associate Attorney – Bankruptcy & Litigation

About Reaves & Lee

Reaves & Lee, PLLC is a fast‑growing Texas law firm focused on bankruptcy, debt resolution, and consumer protection. We help good people through bad times.

Our firm represents individuals and small businesses in:

• Chapter 7
• Chapter 13
• Chapter 11 Subchapter V
• Debt settlement & negotiations
• Creditor litigation and adversary proceedings

We are not a “high volume practice.” We combine compassion with aggressive advocacy. Our clients trust us during some of the most stressful moments of their lives — and we take that responsibility seriously.

We are expanding and looking for a motivated Associate Attorney who wants real responsibility, real courtroom experience, and real growth.

The Role

• Handle motions to extend stay, confirmation hearings, and adversary matters
• Communicate with trustees and opposing counsel
• Assist with Chapter 11 Subchapter V matters
• Develop negotiation strategies with creditors
• Collaborate closely with our partners and legal team

This is not a back‑office drafting position. You will practice law.

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who:

• Is licensed and in good standing with the Texas Bar (or about to be licensed, new bar takers welcome)
• Has 0–5 years of experience
• Is confident in court or eager to gain courtroom experience
• Is organized and able to manage a docket
• Communicates clearly and professionally with clients
• Takes ownership of cases
• Works well in a team environment

If you are looking for mentorship, growth, and the opportunity to build real skill quickly — this is that role.

Why Join Reaves & Lee?

• Direct access to partners
• Substantial courtroom exposure
• Fast‑paced and growth‑oriented environment
• Opportunity to develop expertise in consumer and business bankruptcy
• Competitive compensation (commensurate with experience)

We are building something substantial. We are selective about who joins our team.

If you are driven, you have a curiosity to learn, you are sharp, and ready to grow — we want to talk.
