Position Overview
We are recruiting on a confidential basis for a well established Dallas business law boutique seeking an experienced Civil/Commercial Litigation Legal Assistant. The firm represents businesses and executives in high-stakes commercial disputes and has been repeatedly recognized both for the quality of its litigation practice and for its workplace culture. This is a working litigation desk supporting multiple attorneys in a fast-moving, high-standards environment.
The client is a national award winner and has been named to multiple "best places to work" lists.
What You Will Do

- Prepare TOCs and TOAs
- Support trial preparation, including trial notebooks, exhibit organization, and courtroom support
What You Need

- Proficiency with MS Office Suite
Please note the practice area requirement is firm. Backgrounds concentrated in personal injury, plaintiff-side mass tort or class action, insurance defense, high-volume workers' compensation, family law, criminal defense, or immigration are not a match for this particular role.
