Dallas, Texas—LHH Recruitment Solutions is recruiting a Commercial Litigation Associate for an unposted opportunity. You will work directly with trial partners on a wide range of complex disputes in a mentorship-driven, collaborative environment with early ownership and autonomy.
The role emphasizes hands-on experience, partnership collaboration, and a culture that supports growth within a top-tier practice.
A highly regarded elite litigation boutique in Dallas is seeking junior associates to join its rapidly growing complex commercial litigation team.
This is a unique opportunity to work directly with trial partners on high-stakes matters in a mentorship-driven, collaborative environment. The firm offers the rare combination of Cravath-level compensation, early hands-on experience, and a culture that feels genuinely close-knit and supportive.
Ideal candidates will be 2023–2025 JDs (or outstanding federal clerks) with strong academic credentials and a demonstrated interest in litigation.
The culture is genuinely collegial and low-ego, and the team is often described as having a “family-like” dynamic—supportive, collaborative, and invested in each other’s success.
From day one, associates work closely with multiple partners across a range of matters. There’s real flexibility in how you build your experience—if you find yourself drawn to certain types of cases or working styles, you’re encouraged to lean into that rather than being boxed in.

2023 (3rd Year): $260,000

This is an unposted opportunity, and I am working directly with the partners on these hires.
