Segal McCambridge, a national litigation firm, is seeking an associate for its general litigation practice group (personal injury, premises liability, professional liability, etc.) in our Houston office. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to hone their litigation skills and take responsibility for the day-to-day management of an assigned case load while still being afforded the benefit of working in a team environment and receiving training and mentorship from partners with deep experience in these practice areas.  This is a hybrid position, with a flexible mixture of remote and intermittent in-office attendance.

We seek candidates with:

• Current, active license to practice law in Texas;
• Experience in civil litigation, including experience in drafting pleadings, motion practice, written discovery, depositions, and other facets of the litigation process;
• Excellent legal-research, writing, and advocacy skills;
• Ability to multitask and manage multiple deadlines;
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills;
• Proven ability to produce top quality work;
• A willingness to be proactive and take ownership of projects and assignments.

Our lawyers work on sophisticated matters in a collaborative team environment. Associates take ownership of case management (along with a supervising partner), draft briefs and discovery material, take depositions, appear in court, and play key roles at trials. Compensation is competitive with opportunity for bonus and credit for business origination. 

If you are looking for an opportunity with a growing, collaborative firm, please apply online and include your resume.

In addition to a strong work/life balance, we offer a fantastic benefit package, including:

• 401(k) with match
• Comprehensive health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Short and Long-term disability insurance
• Employee assistance program
• Employee discount
