Legal extern job in Dallas, TX
Construction Attorney, Dallas
Salary: $140,000 - $180,000 | Experience: 3-6 years
Billable hours: 1,800
Looking to join a firm with meaningful work and long-term growth?
This Dallas-based boutique is looking for a Construction Attorney with 3-6 years of experience.
You'll be joining a well-established construction and professional liability practice. The group is deeply embedded in the Texas construction market and regularly trusted with some of the most complex and high-profile disputes in the state.
The work is sophisticated and hands-on. You'll be defending engineers, architects, contractors, and developers in design defect and construction defect matters, handling delay and disruption claims, payment disputes, and professional liability cases.
You'll also be involved in contract negotiation and strategic planning at the front end of major projects, not just brought in once things go wrong.
This is not a back-office drafting role. Associates here take depositions, argue motions, work directly with clients, and develop real subject-matter expertise in construction law and professional liability defense.
The firm has built long-standing relationships with national insurers, design companies, and regional construction companies by delivering results. That same mindset applies internally; reasonable expectations, strong mentorship, and a clear runway for advancement for attorneys who want to build a long-term practice.
If you enjoy complex construction disputes, value real responsibility, and want to grow with a respected Dallas firm, this is worth a closer look.
Interested in Learning More?
If you have construction experience and are admitted in Texas, I'd be happy to talk.

Supervisory Attorney- Head of Texas Office (Personal Injury)
Talent Harbor
Legal extern job in Dallas, TX
Dallas, TX | Onsite | Senior Leadership Role
This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned Personal Injury trial attorney to step into a true head-of-office leadership role-with real authority, real ownership, and real impact.
We're looking for a Managing Attorney who will serve as the senior legal and operational leader of a high-volume personal injury office. This role is for someone ready to lead people, make hard calls, and set the standard for how cases are handled and how teams perform.
If you're energized by responsibility-not just litigation-this role was built for you.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You are the senior decision-maker for the office
Direct influence over case strategy, people, and processes
Trial-focused environment-cases are prepared, not parked
Leadership role with visibility and long-term growth
Competitive compensation and strong benefits
What You'll Own
Serve as Head of the Office, leading attorneys and support staff
Take final ownership of case strategy, valuation, settlements, and trial posture
Personally handle the firm's most complex and high-exposure PI cases
Establish clear expectations, workflows, and accountability across the team
Mentor attorneys and elevate trial readiness and performance
Address underperformance directly and decisively
Ensure cases move forward-no stagnant files, no excuses
Partner with firm leadership to execute operational and strategic initiatives
What We're Looking For
JD from an accredited law school
Active Texas Bar license in good standing
5+ years of personal injury litigation experience
Prior experience leading attorneys (Managing / Supervising Attorney or similar)
Strong trial preparation background; trial experience strongly preferred
Confidence making hard decisions and standing behind them
Ability to bring structure, clarity, and accountability to busy environments
High standards for ethics, professionalism, and performance
Compensation & Bonus Structure
Base Salary: $175,000 - $250,000 (based on experience)
Performance Bonus:
Bonus eligibility begins once fees generated exceed 5× base salary
10% of all fees generated above that threshold are paid as a bonus
Bonus is calculated from the Managing Attorney's start date
This structure is designed to directly reward leadership, results, and growth, with no cap on upside
(Example: A $200K base salary becomes bonus-eligible after $1M in fees; the Managing Attorney earns 10% of all fees above that amount.)
Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid time off and paid holidays
Work Environment
Fully onsite role in Dallas, TX
Fast-paced, high-accountability culture
