    Our client is seeking an experienced Premises Liability Attorney to join a high-performing litigation team dedicated to advocating for injured plaintiffs. This role is ideal for an attorney with a strong background in premises-liability matters—slip and falls, negligent security, property-owner negligence, and related claims—who is ready to take ownership of cases and deliver exceptional results in a fast-paced, plaintiff-focused environment.

    You will manage cases from intake through trial, working with investigators, experts, and a collaborative legal team to maximize client outcomes.

    What You’ll Do

    • Manage a full caseload of premises-liability matters from initial intake through settlement or trial.

    • Investigate accident circumstances, assess liability, and analyze issues such as notice, hazard creation, foreseeability, and causation.

    • Work closely with experts in accident reconstruction, property safety, and engineering; review inspections, maintenance logs, and incident reports.

    • Draft and respond to pleadings, motions, discovery, mediation briefs, and settlement demands.

    • Conduct depositions of parties, fact witnesses, and experts.

    • Negotiate aggressively and strategically with defense counsel and insurance adjusters.

    • Support trial preparation, including exhibit lists, witness prep, briefing, and delivering opening/closing arguments (as needed).

    • Maintain consistent communication with clients regarding case strategy, updates, and settlement details.

    • Collaborate with intake teams, paralegals, and case managers to ensure strong client care and efficient workflow.

    • Stay updated on Texas premises-liability statutes, case law, and emerging safety standards.

    • Uphold the firm’s mission of compassionate advocacy and “no fees unless we win” representation.

    What We’re Looking For

    • J.D. from an accredited law school; licensed and in good standing in the State of Texas.

    • 3–7 years of litigation experience, ideally in personal injury with a focus on premises or property-owner liability.

    • Strong analytical, investigative, and advocacy skills.

    • Proven ability to manage multiple deadlines and a varied caseload.

    • Experience working with technical experts and complex liability evidence.

    • Confident negotiator with solid trial-preparation skills.

    • Exceptional communication skills and a commitment to client service.

    • Ability to work independently while contributing collaboratively to a team environment.

    • Bonus: Trial verdict experience, familiarity with Texas safety codes and premises-liability standards, and relationships with relevant experts.

  • Compensation
