Our client is a boutique litigation firm with first rate clients.  If you decided to practice law because you want actual, practical trial work, for solid clients, on commercial matters, and you are perhaps a little tired of summarizing depositions rather than taking them, or organizing for hearings instead of taking a speaking role in them, then this may be for you. The attorneys are first rate academically, and they are not going to seriously consider someone who is not similarly accomplished. But, if you want to live in Austin, Texas and work with the best of local and regional corporate clients, and if you attended a top-25 law school and performed well (not necessarily top of your class, but close enough), or you clerked for a solid judge, or you have worked at a top-flight firm and you are just tired of the idea of spending year after year with nothing but long hours and redlined drafts of documents you never file to show for your time, then you should reach out on this position.  The pay is at or near Biglaw, the hours are manageable (1,800-2,000 would be FINE), and the people are nice, well-regarded lawyers in the community.  There's not a better place to start in Austin if you're a fit.
