Associate Attorney, Commercial Real Estate Transactions | $200,000–$300,000 | Dallas (Hybrid) | National Deals + Premier Data Center Practice

This is a pure-play commercial real estate role with one of the most active transactional real estate practices in the Southwest.

The firm is seeking a 5th–6th year associate or more senior (ideally ~8 years post-JD for lending independence) who can handle sophisticated acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and lender-side finance work.

Hybrid structure: Minimum 4 days per week in-office (Downtown Dallas).

The Role

• Acquisitions and dispositions for private equity funds and major landlords
• Complex commercial leasing
• Lender-side loan document negotiation (minimal supervision for senior hires)
• Multistate transactions (West Coast, Southeast, national footprint)
• Exposure to large-scale, institutional deals

This is strictly commercial real estate. No residential work.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• One of the largest and most active commercial real estate and lending practices in the Southwest
• 20+ year data center practice representing major national players
• Nationwide transactional exposure beyond Texas-centric deals
• ~30 attorneys total, ~17 in real estate — substantial platform without BigLaw bureaucracy
• Hands-on, strategic business counsel for sophisticated clients
• Growth-oriented environment with real responsibility

Compensation & Structure

• $200,000–$300,000 depending on seniority and capability
• Hybrid policy (4 days in-office minimum)
• Significant independence for senior associates
• Long-term growth within a commercial-focused platform

Ideal Background

• 5+ years of commercial real estate transactional experience
• Strong experience in acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing
• For lending-focused candidates: ability to negotiate loan documents independently
• Comfortable with multistate or nationwide transactions
• Texas Bar admission
• Interested in sophisticated business law within a mid-sized, strategic firm
