Senior Litigation Attorney

Lead with Strategy. Own the Outcome. Elevate the Practice.

Red Dirt Legal | Insurance Litigation | Trial-Focused Leadership Role

There comes a point in a litigation career where the question is no longer, “Can I handle the work?”

The question becomes:

“Where can I make the greatest impact?”

At Red Dirt Legal, we are building a litigation practice for attorneys who want more than file management and routine litigation. We represent residential and commercial property owners in complex bad-faith insurance disputes, taking on powerful carriers with precision, preparation, and strategic advocacy.

This is sophisticated litigation with real consequences and meaningful outcomes.

As our firm continues to grow, we are seeking a Senior Litigation Attorney with deep litigation experience and a leadership mindset; someone ready to shape strategy, mentor rising talent, and contribute to the continued evolution of a high-performing trial practice.

This is not a role for someone looking to simply maintain a caseload.

This is an opportunity to lead.

Why This Role Is Different

This position is designed for a litigator who wants more than volume work and surface-level involvement. At Red Dirt Legal, you will:

• Take real ownership of significant cases
• Drive litigation strategy from inception through resolution
• Collaborate closely with paralegals, attorneys, and leadership
• Be trusted to exercise judgment, initiative, and expertise
• Play a role in developing systems, people, and best practices

Your voice matters here, and your work directly impacts both clients and the firm’s continued growth.

$120,000 yearly base salary + performance based bonuses

You’ll bring your litigation expertise and leadership to a practice that’s built on impact. You will:

• Lead complex commercial and residential bad-faith insurance cases from intake through resolution, including trial
• Collaborate with partners and the executive team to develop and refine firm-wide litigation strategies.
• Mentor junior attorneys and legal staff by offering guidance, training, and feedback to elevate team performance
• Strategically interface with clients, experts, and stakeholders to deliver exceptional results and manage expectations
• Draft, review, and supervise high-level pleadings, motions, discovery, and trial preparation materials
• Take ownership of timelines, case development, and performance metrics, ensuring high standards and consistent excellence

• J.D. from an accredited law school and an active Oklahoma Bar license in good standing
• Minimum 10 years of litigation experience , with a strong emphasis on bad faith insurance claims (both residential and commercial)
• Proven record of success in handling high-stakes litigation and managing complex caseloads
• A leadership mindset with a desire to mentor, inspire, and develop legal talent
• Exceptional legal writing, analytical thinking, and courtroom advocacy skills
• A commitment to professional growth for yourself, your team, and the clients

Benefits:

• Benefits package including health, vision, and retirement plan options.
• Compensation: $120,000 base salary + performance-based bonuses with growth incentives potential
