What are the responsibilities and job description for the Litigation Associate position at HR Legal Search, LLC?
HR Legal Search has been exclusively retained by a newly formed litigation boutique law firm to identify its first associate for its growing Austin office. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to join a lean, elite trial team and play a meaningful role in building the practice.
You’ll work side-by-side with accomplished trial lawyers on sophisticated matters, with immediate exposure to strategy, client interaction, and courtroom work. This is not a back-office role—associates here are trusted early and often with substantive responsibility.
The firm offers a highly collaborative environment with a strong commitment to mentorship and hands-on training, making it an ideal platform for a driven associate looking to accelerate their development.
Qualifications
- 3–5 years of litigation experience (commercial litigation and/or personal injury preferred)
- Admission to the Texas Bar or ability to waive in
- Excellent legal research, writing, and analytical skills
- Proven ability to manage complex matters with independence
- Judicial clerkship strongly preferred
- Spanish fluency is a plus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- First associate hire with direct access to firm leadership
- Early and meaningful courtroom and client exposure
- High-level litigation work in a boutique, entrepreneurial setting
- Competitive compensation and benefits, with relocation assistance available
- In-office collaboration initially, with flexibility as the role evolves
For attorneys seeking more responsibility, visibility, and long-term growth in a premier boutique setting, this is a compelling next step.
