If you’re a defense litigator who actually wants to try cases, not just prepare them, this role is worth a look.

A highly respected boutique defense firm in Houston is quietly looking to add a senior-level litigation attorney to take ownership of a trial-ready docket. This is not a support role. You’ll be trusted with complex, high-exposure matters and real client responsibility from day one.

• Lead high-stakes general liability matters from file open to verdict
• First-chair trials, depositions, and key hearings
• Direct client interaction and strategic decision-making
• Mentor junior attorneys and help shape litigation strategy

• Products liability
• Toxic torts
• Personal injury defense

• 1,800 billable hour target
• 5% 401(k) match
• Real, defined partner track

• 5+ years of defense litigation experience
• Proven trial experience (jury or bench)
• Confidence running cases without hand-holding
