Required

• Active Texas Bar license
• Minimum of 5 years of experience practicing at a law firm

Build the Arguments That Drive Results

Some attorneys enjoy managing cases.

Others are at their best when tackling complex legal issues, developing strategy, and writing the briefs that win motions, shape litigation, and create leverage.

If you are an experienced litigation attorney who thrives on research, writing, and high-level legal analysis, this opportunity offers the chance to work on nationally significant employment litigation while earning top-of-market compensation and enjoying substantial growth opportunities.

Our client is a nationally recognized plaintiff-side employment law firm that has helped recover hundreds of millions of dollars for workers across the United States. The firm's attorneys litigate complex wage and hour cases nationwide, representing employees in individual, collective, and class action matters.

As the firm's litigation practice continues to expand, they are seeking a talented Briefing Attorney or Litigation Attorney to join the team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Meaningful Litigation

Work on cases that directly impact the lives of workers and shape employment law developments across the country. 

Sophisticated Legal Work

Handle complex motion practice, class and collective action issues, appellate briefing, and cutting-edge employment law questions.

National Scope

Contribute to litigation pending in courts throughout the United States and collaborate on high-stakes matters involving significant exposure and broad legal implications. 

Strong Compensation

• Base salary of $170,000 - $200,000
• Performance-based bonus opportunity
• Long-term career growth potential

Attorney-Driven Culture

Join a team that values intellectual curiosity, strong advocacy, and exceptional written work product.

What You'll Be Doing

Advanced Legal Research & Writing

• Draft dispositive motions
• Prepare appellate briefs

Litigation Strategy

• Analyze complex factual and legal issues
• Develop persuasive litigation positions
• Collaborate with trial attorneys on case strategy
• Evaluate risk and litigation exposure
• Assist in preparing cases through trial and appeal

Case Involvement

Depending on experience and interest, opportunities may include:

• Depositions
• Motion hearings
• Oral argument
• Client strategy discussions
• Case management responsibilities

Candidates do not need prior wage and hour experience to be successful in this role. Outstanding writing ability, strong litigation instincts, and a passion for advocacy are the most important qualifications.

Who Thrives Here?

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Loves legal research and writing
• Enjoys solving difficult legal problems
• Takes pride in producing exceptional work product
• Wants to collaborate with highly accomplished litigators
• Prefers substantive legal work over internal politics
