Job description

We are an established, full-service business law firm based in Dallas with a strong regional reputation and a tenured bench of attorneys recognized in Texas Super Lawyers and D Magazine's Best Lawyers in Dallas. We are looking for a senior transactional attorney to join our corporate and business transactions group.


What the role looks like

M&A, business transactions, corporate governance, and securities work for a client base that includes closely held businesses, founders, and middle market companies. This is a senior-level seat with real autonomy and direct client relationships from day one.


What we are looking for

  • Senior associate, counsel, or partner-level experience in M&A and business transactions
  • A background that spans corporate, commercial, and securities work
  • The ability to run deals independently and manage client relationships directly
  • Portable business is welcomed and we can show you a model for how to grow it here, but it is not a requirement


The opportunity

We are in a deliberate growth phase. Senior members of our transactional group are transitioning toward retirement over the next several years, and we are looking for the right attorney to step into an expanding role and inherit a long-standing client base built over decades. This is not a role where you come in and wait for an opportunity. The opportunity is already here.
