Job description
Location: Dallas, Texas
Firm: MAS Law
Employment Type: Full-Time | In-Office
Salary: $100,000–$130,000 Annually
About MAS Law
MAS Law is an award-winning law firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 2000 by Managing Shareholder Sean Modjarrad, the firm has built a strong reputation for delivering exceptional client service and achieving outstanding results.
With offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago, MAS Law continues to expand its reach and legal practice. While primarily focused on plaintiffs' personal injury representation, the firm also handles a variety of civil litigation matters in state and federal courts.
Our attorneys and legal professionals work collaboratively to provide effective legal representation, and associates have the opportunity to work directly with experienced trial attorneys on substantive legal matters.
Position Overview
MAS Law is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Associate Civil Litigation Attorney with a minimum of 2 years of hands-on civil litigation experience to join our Dallas office.
This position will primarily support a senior litigation attorney's civil docket, including matters outside the firm's core personal injury practice. The successful candidate will play an important role in conducting substantive legal work, advancing active litigation matters, and improving the organization and management of the assigned caseload.
The ideal candidate will possess exceptional legal research, analytical reasoning, and persuasive writing skills, with the ability to independently evaluate complex legal issues and translate that analysis into well-supported motions, briefs, memoranda, and litigation strategies.
This is a hands-on position requiring an attorney who takes ownership of assignments, pays close attention to detail, and is willing to perform the substantive work necessary to move cases forward. While opportunities to develop an independent personal injury caseload may become available over time, the initial focus of this position is supporting and advancing the firm's civil litigation matters.

- Prepare persuasive written arguments and recommendations to support litigation decisions.
- Independently manage substantive legal assignments from initial research through completion, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and attention to detail.
Litigation & Case Management
- Support senior litigation attorneys in managing active civil litigation matters in Texas state and federal courts.
- Prepare and respond to written discovery, including interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission.
- Review discovery materials, identify evidentiary issues, and assist in resolving discovery disputes.
- Prepare deposition outlines, hearing materials, witness examinations, and supporting documentation.
- Participate in depositions, hearings, mediations, and other litigation proceedings as appropriate.
- Assist in developing litigation strategies and preparing cases for trial.
- Monitor case progression, procedural deadlines, and court requirements to ensure assigned matters advance efficiently.
- Contribute to improvements in litigation workflows, case organization, documentation, and case management procedures.
- Collaborate with attorneys, paralegals, and support staff to ensure timely completion of assignments and effective case progression.
Qualifications
- Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
- Active Texas Bar license in good standing.
- Minimum of 2 years of hands-on civil litigation experience required.
- Demonstrated proficiency in legal research, analysis, and persuasive legal writing.
- Experience independently drafting pleadings, motions, briefs, legal memoranda, and discovery documents.
- Strong understanding of Texas civil procedure and litigation practices; familiarity with federal civil procedure preferred.
- Excellent analytical reasoning, problem-solving, and written communication skills.
- Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to producing thorough, accurate, and high-quality legal work.
- Ability to independently evaluate complex legal issues, exercise sound judgment, and recognize when additional guidance or collaboration is appropriate.
- Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments and competing deadlines without compromising work quality.
- Proficiency with legal research platforms, electronic filing systems, and case management software; NEOS experience preferred.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with senior attorneys and litigation support staff.

Tips for Your Litigation Associate Job Search
Tailor your writing sample strategically
Litigation associates are almost always asked for a writing sample. Submit a brief, motion, or memo you drafted independently, not one heavily edited by a partner. If you're early in your career, a law review note or moot court brief works well.
Highlight courtroom and deposition experience
Many applicants list case types but skip actual courtroom contact. If you've taken depositions, argued motions, or conducted direct or cross-examination, name those experiences explicitly. Partners hiring for lit roles weight hands-on advocacy over research credits.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists litigation associate openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your resume to the docket type
A commercial litigation firm and an insurance defense shop read resumes differently. Reframe your experience around the work they actually do: contract disputes and injunctions for commercial practices, coverage analysis and volume management for insurance defense.
Prepare for the analytical interview question
Litigation interviews often include a hypothetical fact pattern you're asked to analyze on the spot. Practice walking through issue identification, applicable standards, and your recommended strategy in a structured, out-loud format before you walk in.
Negotiate start date and bar admission timing
If you're awaiting bar results, clarify the firm's policy on provisional start dates before accepting an offer. Some firms permit you to start in a research capacity while pending admission, which affects your actual start timeline and compensation step.
Litigation Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most litigation associates?
Kahana & Feld LLP, Jobot, and Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP are hiring the most litigation associates right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially active at firms with active commercial, insurance defense, and employment litigation practices.
How many litigation associate jobs are remote?
About 71% of litigation associate openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully remote positions remain less common than in other legal roles. Document review, research-heavy positions, and in-house litigation support roles tend to offer the most location flexibility, while court-facing associate roles generally require local presence.
How do you become a litigation associate?
You become a litigation associate by earning a Juris Doctor, passing the bar exam in your target state, and securing a position at a firm or organization with an active litigation practice. Clerking for a trial court judge, participating in law school clinics, or working as a summer associate in a litigation group all build the practical courtroom and procedural experience firms look for when hiring.
How do you get hired as a litigation associate with little experience?
Firms hiring junior litigation associates focus heavily on writing ability, analytical thinking, and coachability over case history. A strong writing sample, any courtroom contact from clinics or competitions, and a clear articulation of why you want to litigate, not just practice law generally, matter more than years on the job. Many litigation groups actively hire straight from clerkships or entry-level document review roles.
What does the litigation associate interview process look like?
The litigation associate interview process typically includes a screening call with a recruiter or hiring coordinator, followed by one or two rounds of interviews with partners and senior associates from the litigation group. You'll often be asked to discuss your writing sample in detail, walk through a past matter, and respond to a hypothetical legal scenario. Callback interviews at larger firms may include a full day of back-to-back meetings.
Where can I find and apply to litigation associate jobs?
You can find and apply to litigation associate jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from law firms, in-house legal departments, and government offices across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and practice area, then apply directly to each one that fits.
