Business Litigation Associate

Our Client is seeking a 4-6 year attorney for a position with our Business Litigation practice group in Austin to work under the Chair of our Litigation & Dispute Resolution Department. This practice primarily focuses on complex business litigation and arbitration cases in several substantive areas including real estate, trademarks and copyrights, securities, insurance, franchisor/franchisee disputes, and corporate and partnership issues. Candidates from other Texas cities are encouraged to apply, but familiarity with the Texas courts and rules is an essential skill for this role, so we are not considering out-of-state candidates at this time. The successful candidate for this position will be expected to work primarily from the Austin office, with some work-from-home flexibility for appointments or other personal reasons.

The ideal candidate will have experience in the following areas:

• Trial skills: Candidates should have robust experience with hearings and depositions, and feel comfortable in a trial setting with reasonable oversight.
• Complex Business Litigation: partnership and shareholder disputes, misappropriation of trade secrets, trademark infringement, breach of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, and commercial contracts.
• Real Estate Litigation: Developer litigation, broker defense, real estate lender litigation, and real estate partnership disputes.
• Amlaw200 Experience: Candidates must be familiar with the pace and expectations of private practice in a law firm setting.
• Writing skills: Candidates should be proficient at complex legal drafting.
