Sr. Attorney

We are looking for an accomplished attorney to join a respected litigation practice in Dallas, Texas, with a focus on defending medical malpractice matters involving healthcare providers and institutions. This position offers the chance to guide case strategy, contribute directly to courtroom and pretrial work, and provide leadership to less experienced attorneys. The role may also include involvement in commercial disputes and personal injury defense matters, making it well suited for someone who values both substantive litigation work and team development. Flexible permanent or part-time scheduling is available within a hybrid work environment.

Responsibilities:
• Lead the handling of medical malpractice defense matters from early case assessment through resolution, ensuring strong legal strategy and thorough preparation.
• Prepare, revise, and finalize pleadings, motions, briefs, and client communications with a high level of accuracy and professionalism.
• Oversee the work of entry-level attorneys by providing direction on discovery, legal research, written advocacy, and overall case progression.
• Conduct depositions and represent clients during witness examinations, hearings, and other court proceedings.
• Collaborate with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders to evaluate case developments and recommend strategic next steps.
• Assist with trial preparation, including organizing evidence, developing arguments, and supporting courtroom presentation.
• Contribute to appellate projects when needed, including legal analysis, drafting, and issue preservation.
• Support a diverse litigation practice by assisting on commercial litigation and personal injury defense matters as case demands require.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of litigation experience, with a background in defense work strongly preferred.
• Active license to practice law in Texas.
• Demonstrated ability to produce clear, persuasive legal writing and perform strong legal research and document editing.
• Experience managing active case dockets and providing oversight or mentorship to entry-level legal professionals.
• Confident oral advocacy skills with the ability to represent clients effectively in depositions and court appearances.
• Ability to succeed in a fast-moving, collaborative legal environment while maintaining strong attention to detail.
• Detail-oriented, team-oriented approach with a consistent commitment to high-quality client service.
• Prior exposure to medical malpractice defense, appellate matters, commercial litigation, or personal injury defense is a plus.
