Munsch (Dallas or Houston) doesn’t do as much in the way of products or mass tort, but the lit group is nice, good commercial work and pay/hours are good.

Varies by market and by topic. Got any further details to help us identify a few names?

Agree Munsch. Shook Hardy in Houston for products. I have a 14 person products opening now if you can go small? NRF and K&S.

Varies so much by market. Which one is of interest?

Houston has so many A+ litigation boutiques. Austin is a much smaller litigation market. Dallas has tons of great groups.

Houston preferably, but also Dallas. Product liability and mass torts. Active trial practice. Thanks!

Which side?

Following this for good recs…

Not quite what you’re asking for (it’s lower V100 Biglaw), but Fulbright Dallas has a pretty active products and mass torts practice. Jackson Walker is fantastic but I don’t know much about products work.

Barnes & Thornburg and Thompson Coe might fit the bill for products work, although Thompson Coe pays pretty well below market (I wanna say it’s around $100K for first-years).

If you are looking beyond Dallas, Kelly Hart in Fort Worth is very solid.

Defense side, something in between Barnes and Thompson lol

Products is not a huge Houston practice,
