About Our Client

Our client is a large, highly respected plaintiff-side personal injury law firm with offices across Texas and a national reputation for aggressive litigation, trial readiness, and exceptional client advocacy. The firm invests heavily in trial resources, attorney development, and long-term career growth—and is consistently recognized as a top workplace.

The Role

• Draft and argue motions; appear at hearings and pretrial conferences
• Collaborate closely with litigation teams, paralegals, and trial support staff
• Leverage advanced case management and litigation technology to drive outcomes

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
• Active Texas Bar license (required)
• 4+ years of first-chair personal injury jury trial experience
• Strong deposition experience involving corporate representatives and experts
• Proven ability to manage complex, high-exposure cases
