  • Associate Attorney (Trucking Defense)

    Distinct | North America

    Litigation associate job in Dallas, TX

    Most firms talk a good game when it comes to work-life balance, but the reality can be different. Not at this firm. They've built a genuine culture around having balance, to the point where their billable hour requirement is 1650. That's not a typo. The firm is busy with a docket of transportation and trucking defense cases, and is looking to hire a litigation attorney with 4-7 years of experience. It's the type of firm that doesn't shy away from trials. They've been successfully defending trucking companies and insurers in state and federal courts for over 20 years. You'll be leading depositions, hearings, and arguing motions in court ... not just drafting and handing off to seniors. So if meaningful responsibility seems out of reach at your current firm, it won't be here. And importantly, this firm is looking for someone who wants to grow with them. There's a clear path for the right associate to take ownership and eventually lead the trucking practice, rather than staying permanently in a supporting role. Compensation & Benefits Base salary up to $170,000 100% of healthcare costs paid by the firm Hybrid working available after an initial orientation period PTO 401(k) with firm match This is an ideal role for a litigation associate who enjoys complex liability work, wants hands-on courtroom experience, and sees themselves becoming a practice leader. Interested in learning more? If you have litigation experience - trucking or complex liability is a plus- and are admitted in Texas, I'd be happy to talk. - How to apply: Just hit the apply button and I'll be in touch. Prefer to have a call first? Just call me on ************. You can also find me on LinkedIn. I'm Joel Stevenson, a legal recruiter at Distinct North America. Interested, but feel like you don't tick every box? Just hit apply anyway. At worst, we'll have a good chat about your career aspirations and connect you with other great opportunities.
