• Support litigation strategy in bad faith and coverage disputes, including research and written advocacy for state and federal court proceedings.
• Assist with deposition preparation and other case development tasks tied to civil litigation matters.
• Manage assigned work independently within project timelines, including an initial workload expected to range from approximately 40 to 80 hours.
• Collaborate with legal team members in a remote or hybrid setting to ensure timely progress across active assignments.

• Active license to practice law in Texas required.

• 4 to 10 years of experience as an attorney handling insurance coverage, insurance defense, or closely related civil litigation matters.
