Why You'll Love This Position
This position is 100% remote anywhere within Texas. No relocation is required. Instead of spending your time commuting, you'll focus on high-impact litigation while enjoying the flexibility that comes with practicing remotely.
Unlike many litigation practices, every case you handle has a direct impact on a client's professional future.

As part of our boutique litigation practice, you'll receive meaningful responsibility, direct client interaction, substantial evidentiary hearing and courtroom experience, and opportunities to build long-term client relationships.
What You'll Do
You'll manage high-stakes litigation matters from initial investigation through resolution while working directly with clients and collaborating with experienced senior attorneys. Responsibilities include: (1) representing licensed professionals before Texas licensing boards and regulatory agencies; (2) handling investigations, disciplinary proceedings, contested cases before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH), and related civil litigation; (3) drafting responses, pleadings, motions, discovery, legal briefs, and legal correspondence; (4) participating in hearings, mediations, informal settlement conferences, negotiations, and litigation strategy sessions; (5) advising clients throughout the litigation process; and (6) developing litigation strategy alongside experienced attorneys.

Requirements
What We're Looking For
We're seeking experienced litigators who exercise sound judgment, communicate effectively with clients, and can independently manage a litigation caseload.
Qualifications include: (1) currently licensed Texas attorney in good standing; (2) possess three or more years of litigation experience with demonstrated ability to independently manage a litigation caseload and provide exceptional client service; (3) possess excellent legal writing, research, analytical, and advocacy skills; (4) possess strong client communication and case management abilities; and (5) demonstrate professionalism, initiative, sound judgment, and a commitment to outstanding client service.
Prior administrative law or regulatory experience is welcome but not required.

If you're looking for more than just another litigation position and want to build a rewarding long-term career helping occupational professionals protect what they have worked so hard to build, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
