Internal Knowledge Base Ownership: Maintain master-level expertise in county-level court rules, local clerk behaviors, and eFileTexas filing nuances across all Texas jurisdictions.
Thought Leadership & Advocacy: Represent Our Client at bar association events, host accredited CLE webinars, and author best-practice guides for legal practitioners.
Key Requirements
Litigation Background: 6+ years of hands-on experience in Texas civil litigation (Juris Doctor and active Texas Bar admission strongly preferred; senior law firm operations leaders with deep litigation experience will also be considered).
Tech Adoption Track Record: Proven experience championing technology or process efficiency projects within a firm setting (e.g., eFiling systems, case management platforms, document automation, or AI tools).
