Insurance litigation attorney needed, flexible hours

Vacancy expired!

Austin litigation boutique seeks to hire a trial lawyer with personal injury/insurance defense experience. The position is ideal for someone looking to move from a firm with rigid rules and/or difficult people. We offer flexibility in when you work and where. Several of our lawyers work from home, at hours they choose. If you want to be off the clock when children get home or need to be driven to after-school events, that’s fine with us. Our focus is on excellence in taking care of our clients’ needs, not micromanaging anyone’s schedule.

We are a small group of congenial people, some of whom have worked together for over 20 years. We have more women lawyers than men. Of course pay is important. Based on an average 40-hour week, with vacations thrown in, it would be easy to make $100,000-$120,000 to start, plus profit-sharing bonuses an average of twice a year. While full-time is preferred (because we are so busy), we will consider part-time too if your experience indicates that you could help us with our caseload on a part-time basis.

The ideal candidate will write well (several of our lawyers were judicial clerks), think strategically and have an appreciation for how some cases can be won on the law.

This job would be good for someone who is good at managing their own time, is organized and efficient. It’s not a good fit for “big picture” thinkers who dislike details or responding promptly to client reporting needs. We move our cases along as quickly as the system and rules allow. And we always strive to make our clients’ jobs easier – such as by getting them the reports and information they need to report to their superiors – which drives more business.

There will be initial case evaluations to draft, discovery to send out (and answer), depositions to take and defend, motions practice when a summary judgment or other motion is appropriate, and mediations to attend (most of which have been on Zoom). Getting courtroom and trial experience is offered, if desired. Many hearings are on Zoom.

Please do not apply if you are not licensed in Texas now. Most of our cases are in Austin and surrounding counties, but we have cases in Houston and Dallas as well. You don’t have to live in Austin, although when in-person appearances are required, you would need to be able to be there, wherever it is. A formal resume is not needed if you prefer to respond with an email describing your education, work experience, and goals. Thanks for considering us.
