Job description

A highly regarded and rapidly growing Dallas litigation boutique is seeking a Commercial Litigation Associate to join its expanding team. This is an exceptional opportunity for an attorney seeking meaningful courtroom experience, direct client interaction, and hands-on responsibility in sophisticated business disputes.

The Opportunity

• Commercial litigation practice focused on business disputes, fiduciary duty claims, partnership disputes, contract litigation, and real estate-related matters
• Frequent courtroom exposure and substantial responsibility from the outset
• Opportunity to work closely with experienced trial attorneys in a collaborative environment
• Growing platform with a strong reputation for rewarding performance and developing litigators

Ideal Background

• 3-4 years of commercial litigation experience preferred, though more senior candidates will be considered
• Strong experience handling substantive litigation matters and court appearances
• Experience from a respected regional, national, or Am Law firm preferred
• Federal clerkship experience is a plus
• Texas Bar admission required
• Dallas-market litigation experience preferred, but strong candidates from other markets will be considered
• Seeking attorneys who can hit the ground running, take ownership of matters, and thrive in a courtroom-focused practice
• Cravath-scale compensation based on class year
• Discretionary performance bonuses
• Comprehensive benefits package, paid parking, CLEs, bar dues, and business development support

Billable Requirement

• 1,850 billable hours

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Unlike many large firms, attorneys here receive meaningful courtroom experience early in their careers while maintaining top-of-market compensation. The culture is team-oriented, entrepreneurial, and focused on professional development, making it an attractive platform for litigators looking to accelerate their growth.
