About the role

The client is seeking a Commercial Litigation Associate to join its Dallas office. This role offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated litigation matters within a collaborative team environment, providing meaningful client exposure and the chance to take on substantial responsibility. The position involves working alongside experienced trial lawyers on a diverse range of complex commercial disputes. Responsibilities include handling matters such as white collar litigation, government investigations, breach of contract, business torts, fraud, restrictive covenants, securities disputes, and other high-stakes business litigation. The associate will conduct substantive legal research, draft motions and briefs, and gain exposure to litigation and regulatory matters within highly regulated industries, including energy, healthcare, financial services, and oil and gas. The role emphasizes direct client interaction and close collaboration with experienced partners. Qualified candidates will have 3-7 years of complex commercial litigation experience at a large firm, a J.D. with strong academic credentials, and admission to the Texas Bar in good standing. The client offers a hybrid work schedule, an annual billable requirement, and a broad practice that extends beyond traditional commercial litigation. There is a strong emphasis on mentoring, training, and professional development, along with competitive benefits and a discretionary annual bonus program.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
