Job description

A well-established boutique litigation firm in Dallas is looking to add a talented Litigation Associate with 2-3 years' experience to its growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded practice where you'll gain hands‑on experience working closely with experienced trial lawyers on a broad range of complex commercial disputes. From day one, you'll enjoy meaningful responsibility, direct client contact, and exposure to high‑quality litigation matters.

The Opportunity

• Handle a varied caseload of commercial litigation matters.
• Draft pleadings, motions and discovery.
• Take and defend depositions, attend hearings and support trial preparation.
• Work directly with partners in a collaborative, team‑oriented environment.
• Build your advocacy and client management skills with genuine opportunities for progression.

About You

• 2-3 years' litigation experience gained at a law firm.
• Licensed to practice in Texas (or eligible for admission).
• Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills.
• Motivated to take ownership of your work and develop your litigation career.
• Commercially minded with a proactive, collaborative approach.

This role would suit an ambitious associate looking to move away from being one of many in a large team and into a practice where your contribution is recognised, your development is prioritised, and you'll gain excellent exposure to sophisticated litigation work.

BCL Legal is an equal opportunities employer.
