Job description

A confidential, well-established business law practice in Texas is seeking a Commercial Real Estate Transactional Attorney to join its Dallas-area platform, with a primary focus on sophisticated commercial leasing.

This is a strong fit for an associate who enjoys drafting and negotiating high-quality leases, working directly with business clients, and building a long-term practice with a partnership-track trajectory.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• 100 percent transactional commercial real estate work, centered on leasing
• Sophisticated retail and office leasing matters, with opportunities to represent landlords and/or tenants
• Direct client contact and meaningful responsibility, with collaborative oversight available as needed
• Strong workflow in commercial leasing and related real estate transactions
• Partnership-track opportunity for attorneys interested in business development and long-term growth

The Role:

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial lease agreements, amendments, renewals, consents, and related ancillary documents
• Advise clients on business terms and key lease provisions, including operating terms, remedies, default provisions, and assignment and subletting issues
• Manage leasing matters from letter of intent or term sheet through execution, coordinating with counterpart counsel and internal stakeholders
• Support related commercial real estate transactional needs that arise within leasing matters
• Collaborate with other attorneys and coordinate discrete workstreams with paralegal support as appropriate

Location, Schedule and Compensation:

• Location: Texas, Dallas area
• Schedule: Hybrid, in office 4 days per week, with initial onboarding expected to be primarily in office
• Compensation: Base salary of $200,000

Requirements:

• 2+ years of commercial real estate transactional experience, including meaningful commercial leasing work
• Active Texas Bar admission, or eligibility to become admitted in Texas
• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
• Strong drafting, issue-spotting, and negotiation skills
• Ability to manage matters with increasing autonomy while working effectively in a team-oriented environment
• Client service mindset and interest in developing long-term client relationships

Preferred Background:

• 4 to 6 years of post-law school experience handling sophisticated commercial leasing matters
• Experience representing both landlords and tenants
• Comfort supervising paralegals or coordinating smaller matters and discrete components of larger transactions

Compensation and Benefits:

• Base salary of $200,000
• Billable target of approximately 1,800 to 1,900 hours

We’ll be happy to discuss this position in more detail.
