Job description

Our client is establishing a new Texas-based personal injury law practice and is seeking an experienced Personal Injury Litigation Attorney to serve as the firm's first litigation attorney. This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned attorney to take a leadership role, build the litigation department from the ground up, and help shape the firm's long-term growth.

The ideal candidate brings extensive personal injury litigation experience, strong courtroom advocacy skills, and the ability to manage a high-volume caseload. As the practice grows, this attorney will have the opportunity to recruit, develop, and eventually lead a team of litigation attorneys.

This is a fully remote position open to candidates anywhere in Texas, with travel required for court appearances and other in-person legal proceedings as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Represent clients in court and handle depositions, mediations, settlement negotiations, and other litigation proceedings.
• Develop and execute effective litigation strategies to achieve favorable client outcomes.
• Manage a high-volume caseload while maintaining attention to detail, organization, deadlines, and case quality.
• Evaluate case merits, identify legal issues, assess risks, and determine appropriate litigation approaches.
• Collaborate with clients, opposing counsel, experts, and other legal professionals throughout the litigation process.
• Help establish the firm's litigation processes, workflows, and best practices to support efficiency, consistency, and growth.
• Play a key role in building the litigation department, with the opportunity to hire, mentor, and manage additional litigation attorneys as the firm expands.

Required Qualifications

• Active license to practice law in Texas and membership in good standing with the State Bar of Texas.
• Minimum of 5 years of personal injury litigation experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing cases from litigation filing through settlement or trial.
• Strong experience with court appearances, depositions, mediations, settlement negotiations, and trial preparation.
• Ability to independently manage a high-volume and complex litigation caseload.
• Excellent legal research, writing, analytical, negotiation, and oral advocacy skills.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability and willingness to travel within Texas for court appearances and other required proceedings.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with pre-suit personal injury matters in addition to litigation.
• Prior experience building, developing, or leading a team of litigation attorneys.
• Experience establishing litigation procedures and helping scale a growing legal practice.
• Demonstrated ability to balance strong case outcomes with efficient caseload management.

Work Arrangement

• Location: Fully remote; candidates must be licensed to practice law in Texas.
• Travel: Required for court appearances and other in-person proceedings as needed.
• Leadership Opportunity: Initial individual-contributor role with the potential to build and lead the firm's litigation department as the practice grows.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity for an experienced personal injury litigator to take on a meaningful leadership position, help establish a firm's litigation practice, and influence how the department operates as it grows. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute beyond individual case management and help build a team and practice for the long term.
