Job description

Brand New Commercial Litigation Associate | Elite Dallas Trial Boutique | Genuine Early Courtroom Experience | Up to $260k Base | Dallas

I am working directly with the leadership of an elite Dallas litigation boutique looking to add an exceptional associate to its commercial disputes team.

If you want to build a career as a true trial lawyer and gain meaningful courtroom experience early, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

This team regularly goes head-to-head with major national firms on sophisticated, high-value disputes, yet its boutique structure means associates can gain meaningful responsibility for motions, depositions, hearings, strategy and trial preparation far earlier than they typically would in BigLaw.

Highlights:

• Top-tier litigation platform — consistently recognized by leading legal directories for commercial and bet-the-company disputes.
• Major recent wins — including eight-figure appellate victories, complete dismissal of substantial commercial claims, and a multimillion-dollar jury verdict.
• Real trial experience early — associates work directly on depositions, motions, hearings, strategy and trial preparation from an early stage.
• Lean teams, national-caliber work — sophisticated matters, close partner access and significantly more responsibility than you would typically get in BigLaw.

The Role:

• Work on sophisticated commercial disputes involving breach of contract, fiduciary duties, business torts, trade secrets, intellectual property, financial services and other complex business litigation.
• Take significant responsibility for legal research, briefing, dispositive motions and substantive written advocacy.
• Manage key elements of discovery and work directly on deposition preparation and depositions.
• Assist in developing case strategy alongside experienced trial partners.
• Gain exposure to hearings, arbitrations and trials on high-value disputes.
• Work within lean teams where strong associates are expected to contribute substantively rather than simply execute tasks.

About you:

2+ Years or experience, with excellent academic credentials and a genuine ambition to build a career as a trial lawyer.

You should be an excellent writer, analytically strong, comfortable taking ownership and motivated by the opportunity to get closer to the courtroom earlier in your career.

This is a close-knit, high-performance litigation team where attorneys work collaboratively on sophisticated matters and junior lawyers have genuine visibility with senior trial counsel.

Package:

• Base salary up to $260k, depending on experience and credentials.
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision and 401(k).
• Exceptional opportunity to accelerate your development as a commercial trial lawyer without sacrificing the sophistication of the matters you work on.
