Job description

Plaintiff-Side Personal Injury Litigation Attorney

An established personal injury law firm in Dallas is seeking an experienced Plaintiff-Side Personal Injury Litigation Attorney for a full-time, direct-hire opportunity.

The firm is looking for a PLUG-and-PLAY, full-cycle litigator who already knows how to litigate and can step into an existing personal injury litigation caseload. The firm will provide training on its systems, procedures, and internal processes, but this position is designed for an experienced attorney who does not need to be taught how to litigate or take depositions.

The ideal candidate will have 6-10+ y years of plaintiff-side personal injury experience and strong tenure with a reputable PI firm where they received substantive litigation training. Candidates with 5+ years of experience will be considered, as will exceptional more-senior attorneys.

The firm handles meaningful personal injury cases and is seeking an attorney with substantive case-development experience rather than someone whose background has been limited to managing hundreds of lower-value cases in a high-volume environment.

Experience & Qualifications

• 5-10+ years of experience handling meaningful Plaintiff-Side PI litigation and substantive case development
• Spanish-speaking is a plus
• Experience working with liability and damages experts
• Trial experience
• Ability to independently handle and move personal injury litigation cases
• Strong preference for candidates who received substantive litigation training at a reputable law firm
• Strong employment stability and several consecutive years with the same firm preferred
• Exceptional insurance-defense litigators will also be considered
• Louisiana and/or Arkansas licensure is a plus, but not required

Caseload & Support

• 50-60 active litigation cases
• Dedicated paralegal support
• Firm has a records department

The firm is looking for an attorney who can take ownership of this litigation workload and move cases forward without requiring significant supervision or litigation training.

The Right Fit

The ideal attorney is aggressive about getting things done and moving cases forward.

Must be professional and even-tempered, receptive to leadership and direction, and comfortable working within an established firm structure without needing to control how the firm operates.

The firm is looking for someone who:

• Stays on top of their files
• Is organized and prepared
• Proactively communicates case updates
• Comes to mediations prepared
• Prepares mediation letters
• Prepares thoroughly for depositions rather than handling them off the cuff
• Is reliable and honest
• Shows up consistently and gets the work done
• Can work successfully within an established firm's structure and leadership

Growth

There is significant growth potential for the right person. The firm values strong long-term performers and offers opportunities for increased leadership and management responsibility.
