Associate

We are looking for an experienced Associate Attorney to support insurance-related litigation matters in a contract opportunity with potential for a longer-term arrangement based in Dallas, Texas. This role is well suited for a Texas-licensed attorney who can work independently on substantive legal assignments and contribute quickly in a remote or hybrid environment.

• Draft reservation of rights letters, declaratory judgment filings, and related coverage documents for active matters.
• Support litigation strategy in bad faith and coverage disputes, including research and written advocacy for state and federal court proceedings.
• Assist with deposition preparation and other case development tasks tied to civil litigation matters.
• Manage assigned work independently within project timelines, including an initial workload expected to range from approximately 40 to 80 hours.
• Collaborate with legal team members in a remote or hybrid setting to ensure timely progress across active assignments.

Qualifications:

• Active license to practice law in Texas required.

• 4 to 10 years of experience as an attorney handling insurance coverage, insurance defense, or closely related civil litigation matters.

• Demonstrated ability to draft motions and discovery materials without direct supervision.

• Working knowledge of reservation of rights letters, declaratory judgment actions, and bad faith claims.
