Job Description

This role is ideal for a Texas-licensed personal injury attorney who thrives on structure, process, and systems thinking. You will be responsible not only for managing personal injury cases but also for building the firm’s standard operating procedures (SOPs), workflows, and form libraries that will define the foundation of our Texas office.

The right candidate will be both a skilled litigator and a systems architect—someone who understands how to translate experience into repeatable, high-performing processes that deliver consistent excellence across teams.

3. Leadership and Collaboration
   • Serve as the Texas process leader and liaison with Florida headquarters.
   • Train and mentor junior attorneys and support staff on new systems and procedures.
   • Participate in regular cross-departmental meetings to refine processes and ensure operational consistency.
