• Draft and argue motions, including summary judgment and discovery motions
• Take depositions of parties, witnesses and experts
• Attend hearings, mediations, arbitrations and trials
• Prepare clients, adjusters, witnesses and experts for testimony
• Evaluate claims, assess exposure and communicate strategy to carriers and clients

What We Are Looking For

• JD from an accredited law school
• Active Texas bar license in good standing
• Strong command of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure
• Exceptional writing, research and analytical skills
• Proven ability to run a docket with minimal supervision
• Professional communication with clients, adjusters and opposing counsel
• Trial experience a plus
