Arnold & Porter is seeking a Mid-level – Senior litigation associate (JD, 2017-2022) to join our Complex Litigation Practice Group in our Houston office.
Arnold & Porter is widely recognized for our successful record in sensitive, complex, and high-stakes litigation. Our litigators work across the firm's offices as one multi-disciplinary team on precedent-setting cases, resolving high-stakes disputes across the commercial landscape. And unlike many big firms, we regularly try cases to verdict in federal and state courts around the country. Over half of the Fortune 250 companies have chosen Arnold & Porter as outside counsel. We are also proud to represent numerous clients in pro bono matters (our attorneys perform approximately 100,000 pro bono hours per year).
Qualified candidates must have excellent legal analysis, writing skills, academic credentials, and references. In addition, applicants must currently be licensed, or be eligible to become licensed, to practice law in Texas. Applications must include a resume, law school transcript, references, and writing sample. Experience performing at trial, arguing matters before courts or arbitrators, and taking/defending depositions is preferred but not required. We value the experience gained through judicial clerkships. Our litigation associates with federal clerkship experience receive substantive work upon their arrival at the firm. Most litigation associates work on matters that span different sectors and select a litigation focus by the end of their third year.
If you are interested in joining a collegial firm committed to diversity & inclusion and pro bono, as well as the training and mentoring of future trial lawyers, we hope you will apply!
