Job Details

Commercial Litigation Attorney | Houston | Up to $200k | Real Estate & Business Disputes

Location: Houston, Texas

Salary: Up to $200,000 (DOE)

Schedule: 100% onsite

A growing boutique litigation firm in Houston is seeking a Civil Litigation Attorney (5+ years) with experience in business, real estate, or construction disputes.

This is a strong opportunity for an attorney looking to step into a high-responsibility, client-facing role, working on complex commercial matters within a firm that is actively expanding.

The Role

You will handle a mix of commercial litigation matters, including:

• Business disputes and contract litigation
• Commercial and residential real estate matters
• Construction-related disputes
• Case management from inception through trial
• Direct client interaction and strategic involvement

The firm operates on an hourly billing model (no contingency work), with a strong focus on results-driven litigation and client engagement.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Compensation up to $200k depending on experience
• Real opportunity to step into a key role during firm growth
• Work on high-value commercial litigation matters
• Direct exposure to clients, strategy, and case ownership
• Boutique environment with high standards and strong autonomy

Requirements

• 5+ years of civil litigation experience
• Background in commercial litigation, real estate, or construction law
• Strong skills across discovery, motions, and trial preparation
• Comfortable with hourly billing and client-facing work
• Licensed to practice law in Texas

Preferred Background

• Experience handling business or real estate disputes end-to-end
• Strong attention to detail and high-quality work product
• Interest in long-term growth within a boutique litigation environment

This role is best suited to attorneys with a commercial litigation background. Candidates with primarily personal injury or insurance defense experience are unlikely to be a fit due to the nature of the practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for a litigator looking to move into a more business-focused, high-impact role within a growing Houston firm.

We encourage interested candidates to apply.
