About the Firm
Nowak & Stauch, PLLC is a litigation boutique representing businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and throughout North Texas. We concentrate our practice on construction, real estate, and nonsubscriber liability claims, while also handling commercial collections, insurance defense, commercial trucking, oil and gas litigation, and employment litigation.
Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and trial-tested litigators with extensive experience. We pride ourselves on quickly assessing case issues and achieving exceptional outcomes for our clients. As a small firm, every team member plays a meaningful role. Unlike larger firms where responsibilities are heavily compartmentalized, our attorneys are involved in the full lifecycle of each case.
The environment is fast-paced, demanding, and highly productive, yet remains collaborative and respectful. We are always interested in meeting new talent to establish new relationships.
About the Role
This position offers an excellent opportunity for an attorney seeking substantial hands-on litigation experience, autonomy, and long-term growth in a thriving practice. The role focuses primarily on commercial litigation, construction litigation, and real estate-related disputes, with a strong emphasis on defense work for home builder clients.
The ideal candidate is confident handling litigation matters from inception through resolution with minimal supervision. This is not a role requiring business development or an existing book of business; we are looking for a strong practitioner who can step in, take ownership of files, and contribute immediately.
Who This Is For
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Wants substantive litigation experience and autonomy.
- Enjoys handling cases from start to finish.
- Thrives in a busy, highly engaged legal environment.
- Prefers a close-knit team over a large, compartmentalized firm structure.
Conversely, this role is not ideal for attorneys coming from a purely transactional practice, those who prefer highly structured environments with narrowly defined responsibilities, or individuals requiring significant day-to-day handholding.
Hiring Process
We are always interested in meeting new talent. If you are a strong practitioner looking for a collaborative small-firm setting, we encourage you to reach out to establish a relationship.
