A well-established midsize Fort Worth law firm is seeking an Associate Attorney to join its growing Insurance Defense and General Liability Litigation practice.

The firm has a longstanding presence in the Fort Worth legal market and combines the resources and sophistication of a larger platform with the accessibility, responsibility and direct partner exposure of a midsize practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation-focused attorney who wants to handle substantive matters, develop meaningful courtroom and case-management experience, and work with a sophisticated client base without getting lost in a massive firm structure.

About the Litigation Practice

The firm's insurance defense and litigation attorneys represent insurers, insureds, businesses and other organizations in state and federal courts throughout Texas.

The practice is considerably broader than traditional high-volume insurance defense and includes matters involving:

General liability and casualty defenseCommercial general liabilityPersonal injury and wrongful deathProducts liabilityProfessional liabilityProperty damageMotor vehicle and transportation claimsConstruction-related disputesFirst-party and third-party insurance litigationInsurance coverage disputesBusiness and commercial litigationContract and business tort mattersOther complex civil litigation

The team represents a diverse client base that includes domestic and international insurers, businesses and major corporate clients, giving associates exposure to matters ranging from traditional liability disputes through sophisticated, higher-exposure commercial and insurance litigation.

Associates work closely with experienced litigators and are expected to take meaningful ownership of their cases rather than functioning solely in a support capacity.
