Job description

Business Litigation Attorney | San Antonio, TX (hybrid) | $120,000 to $190,000 | Commercial Litigation

Your next trial date should already be on the calendar. At this San Antonio firm, there's a good chance it would be.

The firm handles commercial disputes for South Texas businesses: contract fights, partnership breakups, construction and real estate disputes. Cases are run by small teams, so associates get real time in front of judges and juries rather than waiting years for it.

The questions you'll want answered

• How much will I be in court? Regularly. Hearings, mediations and trials are part of the job, not a reward for seniority.
• Whose cases are they? Yours to run, with a partner alongside you on strategy.
• What does it take to progress? Results, client trust and trial experience. The criteria are discussed openly.

The work

• Contract and business tort litigation
• Partnership and shareholder disputes
• Construction and real estate litigation
• Discovery, depositions and motion practice
• Trial work in Bexar County and federal court

What I'm looking for

• Admission to the State Bar of Texas
• 3 to 10 years of civil or commercial litigation experience
• Someone who enjoys preparing for trial as much as talking about it

How the role scales

Attorneys earlier in their careers take ownership of discovery and motions. More experienced litigators lead cases and client relationships from start to finish. The firm is hiring across both levels, which is why the range is wide.

The week

Hybrid, with genuine choice over how you set it up around court dates.

Why move

San Antonio's business community is close knit. Do strong work for one client and the next one hears about it. That's how litigators here build a name, and this firm gives you the cases to do it.
