Description

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY – PLAINTIFF'S EMPLOYMENT LITIGATION

Houston, Texas | In-Office | Full-Time

ABOUT THE FIRM
Moore & Associates is a boutique plaintiff's employment law firm in Houston, Texas dedicated exclusively to representing employees. Our practice encompasses the full spectrum of state and federal employment claims, including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour violations. We handle matters at all levels of litigation, including appellate work before the Fifth and Tenth Circuits. We are a small, collegial firm where every attorney does meaningful work from day one — no document review warehousing, no sitting on the bench.

THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a motivated Associate Attorney to join our growing practice. This is a full-time, in-office position based in Houston, Texas. The right candidate is a committed litigator who genuinely wants to be in the courtroom — taking depositions, arguing motions, and trying cases alongside experienced trial attorneys. If you are looking for remote work or a transactional practice, this is not the role for you. If you want hands-on litigation experience representing workers who have been wronged, we want to meet you.
