Co-Managing Attorney – Personal Injury Houston, TX | Senior Leadership Opportunity More Than a Caseload. A Seat at the Table.
A growing Houston-based personal injury law firm is seeking an experienced Trial Attorney to join the practice in a senior leadership role as Co-Managing Attorney, working directly alongside the firm owner to help lead and grow the practice.

This is a unique opportunity for an accomplished personal injury litigator who is ready to take the next step beyond simply managing a caseload. The ideal candidate is someone who wants a genuine voice in the firm's operations, strategy, culture, and growth while continuing to do what they do best — aggressively and effectively advocate for clients.

The Co-Managing Attorney will have the opportunity to handle cases from intake through verdict, while partnering with ownership on the day-to-day management and long-term direction of the firm.
Key Responsibilities

• Manage and aggressively litigate a caseload of personal injury matters from pre-suit through trial
• Take and defend depositions, draft and argue motions, and represent clients at mediations and settlement negotiations
• Develop case strategy and guide matters through all stages of litigation
• Try cases to verdict when a fair and appropriate resolution cannot be reached
• Represent clients in court appearances, hearings, depositions, mediations, and trials throughout the greater Houston area
• Partner directly with the firm owner on day-to-day operations, staffing, workflow, and strategic decision-making
• Help shape and implement the firm's short- and long-term growth strategy
• Supervise, mentor, and develop case managers, paralegals, and litigation support staff
• Help establish best practices, improve processes, and maintain a high level of client service
• Serve as a senior leader and trusted partner in building the firm's culture and reputation

What We're Looking For

• Substantial personal injury litigation experience, with the ability to manage cases from pre-suit through trial
• First-chair trial experience strongly preferred
• Strong deposition, negotiation, motion practice, and courtroom advocacy skills
• Proven ability to independently manage complex litigation matters
• Prior leadership, supervisory, or law firm management experience preferred — or demonstrated readiness to step into a leadership role
• Strong business judgment and the ability to think beyond individual cases
• Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and solutions-oriented mindset
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Genuine interest in helping build, grow, and shape a law firm

Compensation & Benefits

• $150,000–$175,000 base salary, depending on experience
• 401(k) with employer match
• Senior-level leadership opportunity with direct access to ownership
• Meaningful influence over firm strategy, culture, staffing, and growth
• Opportunity to help build something rather than simply inherit a caseload

Ready for Your Next Level?
If you're an experienced personal injury trial attorney who is ready to move beyond simply practicing law and wants a real leadership role with a voice in how a firm operates and grows, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
