About the Role
Baker Law Group is seeking an experienced Civil Litigation Associate to join our growing Texas litigation team in Austin.
This is a full-time, hybrid opportunity for an attorney with approximately 3–7 years of civil litigation experience who is ready to take meaningful ownership of cases, work directly with clients, and continue developing as a well-rounded litigator.
Our Texas practice handles a broad range of civil matters, including business disputes, real estate litigation, construction matters, contract disputes, employment-related matters, defamation claims, landlord-tenant disputes, and other general civil litigation.
The right candidate will be comfortable managing significant portions of cases independently while working closely with senior attorneys on strategy, complex matters, and professional development.
What You’ll Do
The Civil Litigation Associate will:
Manage civil litigation matters and substantial portions of cases from initial assessment through resolution
Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery, correspondence, and other legal documents
Conduct legal research and provide practical legal analysis
Manage written discovery, document production, and case investigation
Take and defend depositions based on experience and case needs
Prepare for and participate in hearings, mediations, settlement conferences, and trials
Communicate regularly with clients regarding case status, strategy, deadlines, and next steps
Evaluate legal and factual issues and help develop case strategy
Negotiate with opposing counsel and assist with settlement discussions
Coordinate with paralegals and legal support staff to keep matters organized and moving forward
Maintain deadlines and manage multiple active matters effectively
Collaborate with senior attorneys on complex litigation and case strategy
Develop greater independence and courtroom responsibility as experience grows
Contribute to the continued growth of Baker Law Group’s Texas litigation practice
Types of Matters

Construction and construction-defect disputes
Business and commercial litigation
Partnership and ownership conflicts
Employment-related litigation
Defamation matters
Landlord-tenant and property disputes
Pre-litigation demands and negotiations
Experience in every area is not required. We are looking for a strong civil litigation foundation, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn unfamiliar subject matter quickly.
What We’re Looking For
Strong candidates will have:
Approximately 3–7 years of civil litigation experience
Strong legal writing, research, and analytical skills
Experience drafting substantive pleadings, motions, and discovery
Experience managing litigation deadlines and case responsibilities
Exposure to depositions, hearings, mediations, and trial preparation
The ability to communicate confidently and professionally with clients
Strong organizational and time-management skills
Sound judgment and willingness to seek input when appropriate
The ability to balance multiple matters and competing priorities
A practical, collaborative, and low-ego working style
Interest in developing greater case ownership and courtroom responsibility
Desire to contribute to the growth of a developing Texas practice
Deposition and courtroom experience are strongly valued, but we will consider candidates whose overall litigation background demonstrates strong potential for continued growth.
