Job Details

We are seeking an experienced Texas-licensed Trial Attorney to join our litigation team. This is a unique role designed for a seasoned courtroom advocate whose primary responsibility is trying cases.

Responsibilities

• Serve as lead trial counsel in jury and bench trials.

• Prepare opening statements, witness examinations, evidentiary presentations, and closing arguments.
• Mentor and train associate attorneys in courtroom advocacy, trial preparation, and presentation skills.

• Minimum of 15–20 first-chair or substantial trial experiences to verdict.
• Demonstrated success in jury and bench trials.
• Exceptional courtroom presence, advocacy, and persuasion skills.
• Strong ability to teach, mentor, and develop less-experienced attorneys.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and strategic thinking abilities.

Preferred Experience

• Civil litigation and jury trial experience.
• Experience training or supervising attorneys.
• Proven record of obtaining favorable trial outcomes.

• Will not be responsible for:

o Discovery
o Depositions

This is an exceptional opportunity for a career trial lawyer who wants to focus on courtroom advocacy while shaping the next generation of trial attorneys.
