• Work closely with clients, landmen, in-house counsel, and regulators
• Manage multiple fast-paced projects simultaneously

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3+ years of experience in oil and gas, mineral title, energy transactions, property law, or related regulatory areas
• Texas mineral law expertise and experience drafting Texas title opinions strongly preferred
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to meet a 1,900 billable hour requirement

• Multiple paths to earn beyond base: billings bonus (based on collections), production bonus, and origination bonus

Benefits

• Competitive compensation (set based on graduation year and experience) plus a comprehensive bonus structure, including billings, production, and origination bonuses.
