Senior Litigation Attorney - Fort Worth

Full-time

Thompson Law Injury Lawyers

Location: Fort Worth, Texas
Type: Full-Time, On-Site (Monday–Friday)
Practice Area: Personal Injury Litigation & Trial

About Thompson Law

Thompson Law is a premier personal injury firm built for people whose lives have been upended by preventable tragedies. Founded in Texas and now serving clients in key markets across the country, we have recovered more than $2.1 billion for our clients. Top Verdict has recognized hundreds of our results—including some of the largest personal injury settlements in Texas—and we have been named among the Best Law Firms in the U.S. We pair relentless advocacy with real client commitment, and we back our attorneys with the case volume, infrastructure, and resources to win.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Litigation Attorney to be a leader and anchor for the litigation docket in our Fort Worth, Texas office. This is a senior role for an experienced trial lawyer who wants to try cases, shape strategy, and build something—without the overhead and financial risk of running a firm.
You will own case strategy from filing through verdict, first-chair trials, and lead a dedicated support team. Skilled litigation paralegals will assist and handle day-to-day case needs under your direction; medical records specialists, legal assistants, and closers will help carry the administrative load. Your time stays where it belongs: on strategy, depositions, mediation, and the courtroom.

What You'll Do

  • Lead Your Litigation Docket: Drive strategy on liability, coverage, damages, and valuation for a robust personal injury docket—from filing through final resolution.
  • Try Cases to Verdict: First-chair jury trials, argue dispositive motions, handle hearings, and lead mediations when carriers refuse to pay full value.
  • Own Discovery & Motion Practice: Draft and direct pleadings, motions, and written discovery; prepare, take, and defend depositions of parties, experts, and treating physicians.
  • Direct Settlement Strategy: Set minimum settlement parameters, approve demand packages, and continue working negotiations and or mediation efforts in advance of trial.
  • Lead and Mentor: Supervise and develop your support team and be a leader and mentor to more junior attorneys, setting the standard for excellence, accountability, and collaboration.
  • Serve as Client Advocate: Be the trusted voice for clients at the hardest moments of their lives—advising on strategy, progress, and settlement/trial decisions with clarity and compassion.
  • Help Shape Firm Strategy: Partner with firm leadership to refine litigation strategy, share trial insights across offices, and help grow our Texas footprint.

What We're Looking For

  • Texas License: Licensed to practice law in Texas and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas.
  • Senior-Level Experience: 8+ years of litigation experience, with substantial personal injury experience (plaintiff or defense).
  • Trial Track Record: Prefer some first-chair jury trial experience and have a real appetite for the courtroom.
  • Strategic Judgment: Proven ability to value cases, set settlement parameters, manage a robust docket, and direct support staff in executing case plans.
  • Leadership: Demonstrated success leading teams in a fast-paced, high-stakes legal environment.
  • Communication: Persuasive in writing and on your feet—with clients, adjusters, opposing counsel, judges, and juries.
  • Technical Proficiency: Comfortable with legal research databases, case management software, and modern litigation technology, including responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Preferred: Experience with catastrophic injury, wrongful death, commercial trucking, or premises cases; a record of verdicts and settlements you're proud to talk about. Spanish speaking a plus.

Why Thompson Law

You get the best of both worlds: the autonomy to lead a local litigation practice, backed by the brand, incoming case volume, technology, and financial strength of an established national firm. You bring the trial skill and strategic drive; we supply the cases, the team, and the platform.
We reward individual contribution directly. Compensation includes a competitive base salary plus an uncapped performance bonus tied to your results—paid monthly.

What We Offer

  • Base Salary + Uncapped Monthly Bonus: Competitive, above-market base plus performance bonuses paid monthly.
  • 100% Firm-Paid Health Insurance: Full employee premium covered by the firm.
  • Retirement: 401(k) with employer matching contributions.
  • Professional Development: 100% firm-paid State Bar dues, CLE, TTLA membership, and Board Certification costs.
  • Full Benefits Package: Life insurance, optional dental and vision, generous PTO, and paid firm holidays.
  • A Team Built to Win: Dedicated litigation paralegals, medical records, legal assistants, and closers assigned to assist your docket and your success.

Make Your Mark

If you're ready to lead, try cases, and set records in Texas personal injury litigation, we want to hear from you. Submit your resume and a summary of your trial and litigation results to View email address on us.fitly.work.
