Attorney - Commercial Real Estate - Dallas - 200K

A confidential Texas-based business law firm 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 in a collaborative environment.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT

• Direct client contact and meaningful responsibility, with oversight and collaboration available as needed.
• Opportunistic, pipeline-focused hiring for strong candidates interested in long-term growth.
• Partnership-track path for attorneys who are client-development oriented.

THE ROLE

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial lease agreements and related documents, including amendments, renewals, consents, estoppels, and SNDAs.
• Advise clients on key lease provisions and business terms, 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 attorneys and coordinate discrete workstreams with paralegal support as appropriate.
