Katten, a global Am Law 100 firm, is seeking a Corporate Litigation Associate to join its Dallas office. This role sits within our M&A and corporate litigation practice, handling high-stakes disputes arising out of mergers, acquisitions, and complex commercial transactions.Qualified candidates will have 3-5 years of complex commercial litigation experience at a nationally or regionally recognized law firm and be admitted to the Texas State Bar. We are looking for a solutions-oriented, insightful litigator who is comfortable working with dense corporate contracts and transactional documents.

Familiarity reading and interpreting merger agreements, purchase agreements, and other complex commercial contracts is highly valued. Experience with depositions and trial preparation activities and the desire to gain meaningful stand-up courtroom experience is preferred. Our ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced environment, demonstrate sound judgment, and take ownership of case responsibilities.
Qualified applicants should include a resume and law school transcript with their application. The estimated salary range for this role is $270,000 - $385,000. Salary determinations are made based on numerous factors, such as, but not limited to: relevant experience and work history, graduation and class year, and practice area of the selected candidate.
