Job description

Associate Attorney - Enjoy a Great Work-Life Balance! (JN -082026-429708) Plano, Texas

Salary: USD40 - USD60 per hour

Associate Attorney (Temp-to-Hire or Direct Hire) | Defense Litigation | Hybrid Schedule | Work-Life Balance

Are you a litigation attorney looking for a long-term home with a firm that genuinely values work-life balance? Whether you're currently between opportunities or simply looking for a healthier, more supportive environment, this could be the perfect next step.

Our client, a highly respected defense-side firm, is seeking an Associate Attorney to join their team. The position is being offered on a temp-to-hire basis, but the firm is also open to hiring experienced attorneys directly into a permanent role at a higher salary if they are the right long-term fit.

The firm is focused on finding the right person rather than a specific practice area background. While debt collection experience is a plus, they are most interested in attorneys who bring strong litigation fundamentals, professionalism, stability, and a collaborative personality.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Temp-to-hire opportunity with long-term growth potential
• Direct hire option available for experienced candidates
• Hybrid schedule with only 2 days onsite
• Excellent work-life balance and supportive culture
• Opportunity to gain valuable defense-side litigation experience
• Collaborative team environment with mentorship and hands-on experience
• Firm is seeking a long-term addition to the team, not just a short-term hire

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active bar license in good standing
• Ideally 2+ years of civil litigation experience
• Strong writing, communication, and advocacy skills
• Professional, reliable, and team-oriented
• Interested in building a long-term career with a stable firm

Ideal Candidate

This role is perfect for an attorney who:

• Has at least a few years of litigation experience
• May be between positions and looking to continue developing their litigation skills
• Wants to join a firm that truly prioritizes work-life balance
• Values a positive team culture and long-term stability
• Is looking for a place where personality, work ethic, and fit matter just as much as experience

If you're seeking a firm where attorneys can do quality work without sacrificing their personal lives, we'd love to connect and tell you more about this opportunity.
