Construction Litigation Attorney

Buildwell Law | Austin, TX | Full-Time | Remote (with Required In-Person Availability for hearings, motions, etc.)

At Buildwell Law, we've built a compensation model around one idea: your time is your most valuable asset — and we treat it that way.We're looking for a licensed Construction Litigation attorney in Texas who is sharp, client-obsessed, and ready to own their caseload in the areas of commercial/business, construction and real estate litigation — on a schedule that actually fits your life, without sacrificing the quality of work our clients deserve.

What Makes This Role Different

A Real Schedule — Not a Suggestion.

This role is structured around a reduced annual hour target — averaging around 30 hours of professional time per week. That includes client work, admin, and CLE. If you're hitting your targets, your schedule is yours to manage.

Flexible, Trust-Based PTO - We don't count days off.

As long as you're pacing toward your annual targets and your cases are covered, take the time you need. Just keep management in the loop — a quick heads-up that your cases are handled and you'll be out is all we ask. No accruals. No approval chains. No guilt.

Mostly Remote — With Real Commitments.

This is a remote-first position, but this is still litigation. You will appear at hearings and trials in person as required by the matter. You'll also join weekly virtual team meetings to stay connected, aligned, and collaborative, as well as monthly opportunities to gather as a team in-person. If you're looking for zero in-person obligations, this isn't the right fit.

Practice Area Focus

Our primary litigation docket centers mostly on construction disputes, real estate litigation, and commercial/business matters. Experience in construction is REQUIRED.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients throughout the life of their matter — you are their advocate, your advisor, and their anchor
• Appear at hearings, depositions, mediations, and trials as required
• Attend weekly virtual team meetings and stay coordinated with firm leadership
• Optionally develop and grow your own book of business for enhanced earnings
• Uphold a strong fiduciary duty to both your clients and the firm at every stage

• Genuinely enjoy client relationships, prioritize their case needs, and take pride in being the person your clients trust and rely on
• Operate with a high degree of personal accountability — you manage your calendar, your caseload, and your commitments
• Don't need someone looking over your shoulder to stay on track
• Are entrepreneurially minded and interested in building your own book over time
