Commercial Litigation Associate

Nelson Mullins is seeking a Litigation Associate to join its litigation group in the Dallas office. As an AmLaw100 firm, this will offer a unique opportunity to a lateral associate who wants to be part of a dynamic team in a growing location.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex office is growing into a full-service office and has doubled in size since opening just over two years ago. The office features partners with experience in banking, mergers & acquisitions, product liability, commercial litigation, real estate, finance, and corporate legal matters. While many members of the two Dallas offices regularly represent some of the world’s largest automotive makers and other product manufacturers throughout the U.S., other members represent banks, lenders, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all shapes and sizes. You will be joining a highly skilled team of attorneys who have substantial courtroom experience at the state and federal levels.

All candidates are asked to submit a cover letter, resume, and a law school transcript.

You have at least five years but no more than seven years of meaningful commercial litigation experience in a mid-size to large law firm setting, or a similar level of trial experience in other settings. You’re prepared to draft and argue complex motions, to propound and respond to discovery, to take and defend depositions, to assist in in both jury trials and bench trials, and you bring an entrepreneurial spirit to a growing office. You possess exceptional oral and written advocacy skills with strong academic credentials. You are adept in case management, ready to take the lead, and are admitted to and in good standing with the Texas Bar.

With over 1,000 attorneys and professionals, Nelson Mullins has strong roots in the business community and an appreciation for new directions in the business world. As a Firm, Nelson Mullins has a strong foundation of community service and good citizenship. Our administrative professionals likewise promote these values, with opportunities to participate and play roles in various pro bono and community service initiatives. We collaborate with each other and with our clients, working side-by-side toward shared goals.
