Our client, a nationally recognized Labor & Employment Practice Group, is seeking a dynamic and highly motivated associate with 3-4 years of labor and employment litigation experience (Class of 2022-2023) to join its Houston office.

The ideal candidate will have experience with:

  • Temporary restraining orders and temporary injunction expedited relief proceedings
  • Trade secret misappropriation and noncompete litigation
  • Wage and hour class action litigation
  • Single plaintiff employment litigation

Strong legal writing skills and experience with discovery, motion practice, and researching and drafting pleadings, motions, and other court filings are required. Experience with trial preparation in both state and federal courts and participation in settlement conferences and negotiations is preferred.

We seek a team-oriented associate with a positive attitude, strong interpersonal skills, and an exceptional work ethic, who has demonstrated client relationship and business development skills and an ability to thrive in a busy, collegial environment. Top academics and experience are required. Fluency in Spanish is a plus but not required.

Candidates must hold a JD from an ABA-approved law school and be an active member of the Texas Bar in good standing. Interested applicants should submit a resume, law school transcript, and a writing sample. Current judicial clerks must apply directly and may not be submitted by a legal recruiter.
