LOAR PLLC: A Modern Approach to Civil Trial Law
LOAR PLLC is a fast-growing, woman-owned, civil trial law firm with offices in Austin, Waco, Dallas/Fort Worth, Rio Grande Valley, Seattle and Denver. Following her passion for technology and innovation, Amber Russell founded LOAR to combine technology and legal acumen to create a better experience for her clients, for her employees, and for the communities she and her team support. A key improvement to this model is the ability for all work to be done virtually or at any of the firm’s three state wide offices or at home with the same efficiency and productivity. While work can be done virtually, the company also believes in the power of face to face conversations and relationships. LOAR PLLC is looking for top legal talent that shares in their passion for the law and improving the lives of Texans.

I started LOAR to reinvent the Personal Injury practice, focusing on long-term goals balancing client success, community impact, and a positive, growth-oriented work environment. As part of this, we launched SOAR Texas, a nonprofit scholarship foundation, to provide $100K in annual college scholarships to 20 outstanding female students. We also began hosting Women in Law events to bring together women in the legal profession to foster connections, provide support, and expand our professional networks. The same spirit of connection and support flows through our firm, and it’s a large part of what has driven our success.
In these forums, a common question we get is how we can partner with LOAR PLLC. In some cases, these were firm owners who were looking to supplement their income, provide new services for their local relationships, or maintain their autonomy while getting the benefits of a large firm. In other cases, we have had conversations with women who left the work place for a vareity of reasons whether their desire location doesn’t have the right options, staying at home with children, or they are at a career stage where they are seeking to scale back their committments. In these cases they want to stay intellectually engaged in law, maintain professional relationships and supplement their income while focusing on their other priorities. We built our Attorney Partner Network to provide for these partnership opportuntities.
