Texas Attorney – Asbestos Litigation and Local Counsel

Our mid-size, Chicago-based insurance defense firm has an immediate opening for a Texas-based Attorney to handle asbestos litigation and serve as local counsel for key client matters. Admission to practice in Texas is required, with preference given to candidates also admitted to the Illinois or Missouri bar. This is a remote role focused on asbestos cases and serving as boots on the ground for Arch cases.

Our firm’s expertise spans toxic tort, complex product liability, general liability, and professional liability. We pride ourselves on a team-based approach to litigation, offering a level of customer service, flexibility, and responsiveness not often found in larger firms.

We are flexible in terms of qualifications and background for this role, considering candidates who are of counsel with an existing book of business, part-time attorneys, or other experienced practitioners. The ideal candidate will have Texas asbestos litigation experience or the ability to quickly learn and manage asbestos cases. Additional responsibilities include handling depositions and potentially more, depending on the candidate's experience and interest.

This role is fully remote.
