BCL Legal is working with a respected, full-service commercial law firm headquartered in Texas. Known for its entrepreneurial culture and sophisticated client base, the firm is actively seeking a Senior Finance Associate to join its established transactional team in Dallas.

The Firm

This firm has grown significantly over the past two decades and now comprises nearly 100 attorneys across several Texas offices. It represents a broad spectrum of clients, including banks, developers, investment funds, and middle-market companies. Many of its lawyers are former BigLaw practitioners who were drawn to the firm’s collaborative environment and strong platform for growth.

Offering a balanced mix of high-end legal work and manageable billable expectations, the firm stands out as an attractive destination for senior associates seeking long-term progression without the rigid structure of national firms.

The Opportunity

This is a senior-level role within the Finance team, with a focus on real estate finance and asset-backed lending. You’ll work closely with partners on complex transactions ranging from $1M to $1B in value. The role will involve negotiating and drafting finance documentation, overseeing due diligence, advising on collateral structures, and managing closings.

You'll be supported by a well-organized team of associates and paralegals, while maintaining direct access to clients. The firm’s culture fosters autonomy, transparency, and entrepreneurial thinking—ideal for a lawyer looking to deepen their expertise and develop a long-term practice.

What You'll Be Doing

- Drafting and negotiating borrower- and lender-side finance documents

- Advising on secured lending, including title and survey matters and UCC compliance

- Conducting due diligence and summarizing key findings

- Managing complex financing transactions across various sectors

- Collaborating across the real estate, corporate, and finance practices

- Supporting client relationships with a commercial, solution-oriented approach

Candidate Profile

To be considered, you will need:

- 7+ years’ experience in finance law, ideally with a mix of real estate and asset-backed finance matters

- Strong working knowledge of security interests, corporate governance documents, and perfection mechanics

- Excellent drafting and client communication skills

- A track record of working efficiently across multiple priorities and transactions

Why Consider This Role?

- Join a respected Texas firm with a strong market presence and high-quality work

- Work-life balance: Reasonable hours, excellent internal support, and no “face-time” culture

- Progression potential: Clear path toward partnership for high performers

- Local focus, national quality: Handle sophisticated matters in a close-knit environment
