Job description

Commercial Litigation Attorney – Trial Experience

Certus Recruitment is partnering with a rapidly growing Dallas law firm to recruit a Commercial Litigation Attorney to join its expanding litigation team.

This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants more than desk-based litigation. You’ll take genuine ownership of cases, work directly with clients and spend meaningful time in depositions, hearings, mediations and the courtroom.

Importantly, you don’t need to have extensive trial experience already. The firm is equally interested in strong litigators who have some courtroom exposure and want the opportunity to develop significantly more.

The Role

You’ll work across the full litigation lifecycle, from case inception and discovery through depositions, hearings, mediation and trial.

The caseload includes commercial litigation, personal injury and insurance defense matters, with the opportunity to develop case strategy alongside experienced partners while taking increasing responsibility for your own cases.

What We’re Looking For

• Licensed and in good standing with the Texas Bar
• Courtroom and trial experience, or a genuine desire to gain significantly more
• Experience taking and defending depositions
• Strong legal writing, analytical and communication skills
• Ability to independently manage cases and competing deadlines
• Personal injury litigation experience is particularly valuable
• Insurance defense experience would also be advantageous
• Ambition to continue developing as a trial attorney

The Opportunity

• $160,000–$190,000 compensation
• Full benefits package
• Meaningful courtroom and trial exposure
• Greater ownership of cases
• Direct client interaction
• Long-term career progression
• Collaborative and growing litigation team

If you’re a commercial litigator who wants greater case ownership and considerably more opportunity to develop your courtroom and trial experience, this could be an excellent next move.
