This ia a rare mid-level opportunity at a top-tier Texas litigation practice.
Our client, a well-regarded full-service law firm with a nationally recognized Business Litigation practice, is seeking a 3rd–6th year associate to join a collaborative, high-caliber team in Houston. This is a growth seat with a genuine path to partnership — not a "seat-filler" role.
Why this move matters:
This is a chance to step into substantive, hands-on litigation work — drafting and arguing motions, taking depositions, and owning discovery — rather than sitting on the sidelines of a matter. You'll be mentored by seasoned trial attorneys while also mentoring junior associates, in a practice known for genuine collegiality rather than internal competition.
- Base salary among the best ranging from $265,000 - $380,000 (exclusive of bonus)
- Strong annual bonus program tied to performance
- Reasonable, clearly defined 1900 billable hour expectations (including pro-bono)
- Robust benefits package
- Structured feedback and evaluation at regular intervals — you'll always know where you stand
What You'll Bring:
- 3–6 years of business litigation experience (clerkship years welcome)
- Hands-on experience drafting and arguing motions
- Strong foundation in legal research, document review, drafting pleadings, and discovery
- Eminent domain exposure strongly preferred
- Excellent academic credentials
- Polished legal writing and client-facing communication skills
Culture:
A firm that genuinely invests in its people — flexible support for attorneys at every career and life stage, a strong diversity commitment, and real opportunities for advancement, not just promises of it.
This search is being conducted confidentially on behalf of our client. Qualified candidates will be contacted directly to discuss the opportunity, including firm identity and full compensation details.
