About this role

We are looking for a Litigation Associate with 7–15 years of experience to join a nationally respected plaintiff-side wage-and-hour boutique in Houston. You'll handle substantive litigation - depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial work - directly alongside the firm's two named Partners on complex class and collective actions representing workers across the country.

What will you be doing?

  • Handling depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial work alongside a Partner

  • Drafting and managing written discovery, motions, pleadings, and legal correspondence

  • Running active case management across a nationwide docket of FLSA class/collective actions

  • Participating in settlement negotiations and mediation

  • Mentoring junior attorneys and the firm's recently expanded briefing team

Key Requirements

  • 5–15 years of litigation experience with significant deposition and in-court advocacy

  • Has taken multiple high level, difficult depositions, such as corporate representative, expert, lawyer, and apex depositions

  • Has argued multiple dispositive motions, such as summary judgment, class certification, and motions to dismiss

  • Has played an active role in developing a disputed record, including compelling documents through discovery motions and running investigations that changed the direction of a case

  • Must be based in Houston, TX and work fully on-site (hard filter no remote)

  • Strong live presentation and communication skills must interview well in person with both Partners

  • Experience with class or collective action litigation (plaintiff or defense side)

  • JD from an accredited law school with active bar membership in good standing
