What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Associate position at Distinct | North America?
Civil Litigation Attorney, Houston (Hybrid)
Salary: $140,000 - $175,000
Fortune 500 clients. Major insurers. High-exposure cases. And you're not stuck in a bullpen drafting memos that get handed up the chain to someone else.
This firm has a genuine national platform, and has been described as among the best litigation firms around, which is exactly the kind of reputation you want backing you up when a case gets difficult.
The Houston office puts you right in the middle of the action: premises liability, product liability, commercial trucking defense, and commercial litigation, representing major insurers and Fortune 500 companies in genuinely high-exposure matters. Real variety, real stakes, real consequences riding on the work you do.
You'll work closely with partners, not around them. There's a strong bench of Houston associates alongside you, so you're never the only junior person carrying a heavy docket alone.
You'll lead depositions, get deep into your own matters, and build actual trial experience rather than watching it happen from the back of the room.
This is a firm that genuinely trusts its associates with responsibility early, and backs that trust with the resources and reputation of a national platform.
If you're ready to move past the drafting-and-handing-off stage of your career and want real ownership of your cases, with a firm that has the depth to support you properly, this is worth a serious look.
Essential Experience
- Active bar license in Texas (or waiving in / UBE transfer underway)
- 1 year of general liability defense experience
- Litigation experience in Texas courts preferred
