About the Firm
Roquemore Skierski PLLC is a Dallas-based business law and commercial litigation firm representing small and mid-sized companies across Texas. Our practice focuses on high-stakes disputes, strategic problem-solving, and long-term client relationships—we are not a volume-driven firm.
We are building a team of attorneys who want to take ownership of their work, develop client relationships, and grow within a performance-driven environment.
Why This Role Is Different
This is not a traditional associate position.
We are structured for attorneys who want:
- Lead attorney responsibility early in matters
- Direct client interaction and relationship management
- A platform to build and grow a book of business
- Compensation tied to performance, contribution, and results
You will work closely with partners while maintaining meaningful autonomy in managing your cases and clients.
