Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking a senior associate for our commercial / general litigation practice group in our Houston office. Practice areas will include commercial litigation (contract disputes, business torts, commercial real estate, etc.), first- and third-party personal injury defense, construction litigation, and other areas as needed. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to hone their litigation skills, take responsibility for the day-to-day management of an assigned case load and develop their supervisory skills by overseeing junior attorneys. While the position allows for great autonomy in handling cases, the attorney will still be afforded the benefit of working in a team environment and receiving training and mentorship from partners with deep experience in these practice areas. This is a hybrid position, with a flexible mixture of remote and intermittent in-office attendance.
We seek candidates with:
Current, active license to practice law in Texas;
5 years' experience in civil/commercial litigation, including experience in drafting pleadings, motion practice, written discovery, depositions, reporting and other facets of the litigation process;
Excellent legal-research, writing, and advocacy skills;
Ability to multitask and manage multiple deadlines;
Strong interpersonal and presentation skills;
Proven ability to produce top quality work;
A willingness to be proactive and take ownership of projects and assignments.
Trial experience is a plus, but not required.
This position will allow the attorney to immediately contribute and engage in meaningful work to further address our clients' legal needs. Compensation is competitive with opportunity for bonus and credit for business origination.
If you are looking for an opportunity with a growing, collaborative firm, please apply and include your resume.
In addition to a strong work/life balance, we offer a fantastic benefit package, including:
401(k) with match
Comprehensive health insurance
Dental insurance
Short and Long-term disability insurance
Employee assistance program
Employee discount
Flexible spending account
Health savings account
