Job Description

Litigation Associate — Insurance Defense Location: Dallas, TX Position: Hybrid Experience Level: 1-5 Years

About the Role A well-established Dallas litigation firm is looking for a motivated junior to mid-level associate ready to take on real responsibility from day one. This is not a document review role — you will be handling active litigation files, taking depositions, and working directly with partners and clients on case strategy. If you are billing 200+ hours a month at a volume shop and not getting the experience or compensation to match, this is worth a conversation.

What You Will Do

• Handle your own active litigation docket in GL, auto, premises, and transportation defense matters
• Take and defend depositions of parties, witnesses, and expert witnesses
• Draft motions including summary judgment, motions in limine, and discovery motions
• Attend hearings, mediations, arbitrations, and trials alongside experienced trial attorneys
• Work directly with carriers and adjusters on case strategy and exposure evaluations
• Receive hands-on mentorship from partners who are invested in your development

What We Are Looking For

• JD from an accredited law school
• Active Texas Bar license in good standing
• 1-5 years of civil litigation or insurance defense experience
• Some deposition experience — whether taking or defending
• Strong writer with practical judgment
• Motivated to grow — not just manage a docket

Why This Role

• Hybrid schedule with real flexibility — not just two work from home days
• Manageable caseload with direct partner access and mentorship
• Comp structure that rewards performance — not just hours
• Firms that invest in junior attorneys rather than burning through them
• Real trial and deposition experience earlier than you would get at a volume shop
