Description:

The Role:
We are looking for an attorney with litigation experience in personal injury or medical malpractice who is ready to do the most challenging and rewarding work of their career. Medical malpractice is not high-volume, fast-turnover litigation. It requires the ability to learn medicine, think critically about causation, work closely with experts, and build cases that can withstand the scrutiny of well-funded defense teams.

This is a position with real responsibility and real growth. You will handle cases from evaluation through resolution, take and defend depositions, develop litigation strategy, and prepare cases for trial. The right candidate has a solid litigation foundation and wants to develop into a first-chair trial attorney in medical malpractice.

What you will do:

Evaluate potential cases, including detailed analysis of medical records, standard of care issues, causation, and damages
Assist with cases from intake through resolution, developing and executing litigation strategy at every stage
Take and defend depositions of fact witnesses, medical experts, and corporate representatives
Work closely with medical experts and consultants to develop case theories and prepare expert testimony
Draft pleadings, discovery, motions, and briefs
Represent clients in court proceedings, mediations, and settlement negotiations
Use the firm's technology tools, including AI-powered medical record analysis, to build stronger cases more efficiently
Maintain consistent, clear communication with clients throughout their cases
Prepare cases for trial, including witness preparation, exhibit development, and trial strategy

What we are looking for:
Required:

Active license to practice law in Texas
Experience in personal injury or medical malpractice litigation
Strong knowledge of Texas civil procedure and the Texas Rules of Evidence
Deposition experience — you have taken and defended depositions, not just attended them
Excellent legal writing and analytical skills
Critical thinking ability — you can review medical records and identify the issues that matter, not just catalog what happened
Strong technology skills — you are comfortable with modern legal technology and willing to learn new tools
The ability to manage a caseload, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines without constant supervision
Strong client-facing skills — you can explain complex legal and medical concepts in plain English and build trust with clients and their families

Preferred:

Medical malpractice experience (if your background is personal injury, we will train you in medmal — but you need to want it)
Trial experience or meaningful trial preparation experience
Experience working with medical experts
Familiarity with case management platforms (Filevine, Clio, or similar)
Comfort with AI tools and legal technology

Who Thrives Here
You are looking for a firm where you will be challenged, where you will learn, and where your work has a direct impact on people's lives. You want to be mentored by experienced trial attorneys, but you do not need to be micromanaged. You take initiative, you think critically, and you hold yourself to a high standard. If you want to build a career in medical malpractice litigation — not just check a box on your resume — we want to hear from you.
