Litigation Associate Attorney | Plaintiff-Side Personal Injury | Dallas, Texas | On-Site | Six-Figure Base Salary + Bonus
A confidential Texas-based plaintiff-side personal injury trial practice is seeking a Litigation Associate Attorney to join its Dallas office.
This is a 100% litigation role on a contingency-fee docket, built for an attorney who wants meaningful ownership of cases, regular deposition experience, and hands-on responsibility through resolution.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Plaintiff-side personal injury litigation in a trial-focused environment
- Significant autonomy, with the opportunity to run your own docket
- Litigation-forward caseload, with most matters actively litigated
- Substantial deposition cadence, with an expectation of approximately 10 depositions per month
- Performance-aligned compensation structure tied to collected fees on matters you handle
The Role:
- Manage a personal injury litigation docket from suit through resolution
- Draft and respond to pleadings, written discovery, and substantive motions
- Take and defend depositions, including party and key fact witness depositions
- Evaluate liability and damages, develop case strategy, and prepare matters for mediation, hearings, and trial
- Communicate directly with clients and coordinate with relevant stakeholders as needed
- Negotiate settlements and prepare files for trial when required
Location, Schedule and Compensation:
- Schedule: On-site
- Compensation: Six-figure base salary, depending on experience
Requirements:
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
- 1 to 5 years of litigation experience in personal injury, with strong alignment to plaintiff-side contingency practice
- Ability to manage an active litigation caseload, often in the range of 20 to 40 matters depending on experience
- Strong legal writing skills and polished work product
- Comfort with a high-deposition, high-ownership litigation practice
Preferred Background:
- Experience with commercial vehicle matters and/or catastrophic injury matters
- For attorneys with 3+ years of experience: demonstrated responsibility taking depositions, drafting substantive briefs, and preparing matters for hearings, mediation, and trial
Compensation and Benefits:
- Six-figure base salary, depending on experience
- Semiannual bonus equal to 10% of collected fees on cases you handle
