Job description

A top-tier Chambers Ranked Mid-Size Firm is hiring a Junior to Mid-Level Energy Litigation Associate to join its team in either Houston OR Austin.

The ideal candidate will have 2-5 years in Oil + Gas Litigation, but strong Commercial Litigators will be considered as well.

If you've worked at sophisticated boutiques, or are ready for a change from the AmLaw model, and want to continue working on complex matters but with real work-life balance, this opportunity is for you.

You’ll work directly with experienced trial lawyers who’ll get you in the courtroom—not just behind a brief. You’ll tackle sophisticated energy and commercial disputes with real client exposure and early responsibility in a collaborative culture that values balance, initiative, and growth. If you want top‑tier matters without the AmLaw grind—in Houston or Austin—this is the move.
