Our client is a very strong litigation boutique in Houston that has been involved in several of the highest-profile matters over the years since the founding partners broke off of a major Houston firm to start their own practice. Not everyone at the firm is prince charming, but most are, and even the less delightful one or two partners have mellowed a lot. Prior candidates who work there have made partner, gone in-house to Fortune 250 companies, and Our client is a very strong litigation boutique in Houston that has been involved in several of the highest-profile matters over the years since the founding partners broke off of a major Houston firm to start their own practice. Not everyone at the firm is prince charming, but most are, and even the less delightful one or two partners have mellowed a lot. Prior candidates who work there have made partner, gone in-house to Fortune 250 companies, and we continue to have many friends at this firm. Because of several very active litigation matters, the firm has two active needs: one 2-5 year associate who is a self-starter, a quick and accurate draftsman, and effective if called upon to handle a hearing or a deposition. Judicial clerkship would be preferred, as several of the partners at this firm have had judicial clerkships and view those experiences as pivotal. The second role is for a 4-7 year senior counsel level attorney with significant litigation experience who is capable of... running with his or her own matters from start to finish. The firm has plenty of work to engage the attorneys they hire for these roles, but this would also be a great firm for an attorney with some of his/her own clients who would benefit from a platform with flexible rates, very smart fellow partners. This is NOT insurance defense work. Please contact us at houston@kinneyrecruiting.com for more information Show more details...
