Leasing Attorney
Job Details
- Handles retail leasing matters for both landlords/developers and national tenants—drafting, negotiating, and closing leases, with exposure to related acquisitions, dispositions, and financing work.
A bit about us:
Our client is a midsized Dallas firm built around one idea: senior people should be running deals, not buried in them. Our real estate group represents both sides of the table—landlords and developers building shopping centers, and national retail tenants leasing space in them—on deals that touch some of the most recognizable retail brands in the country. We've stayed intentionally mid-sized so attorneys keep direct client relationships instead of disappearing into a staffing pyramid.
Why join us?
- Run leasing matters with real autonomy—scope of what you own grows with your experience, not your tenure on a partner's deal team.
- Billable target sits at 1,800–1,900 hours, meaningfully lower than the 2,200+ grind at bigger shops, and we mean it in practice, not just on paper.
About the Role
Must-haves:
- Meaningful commercial real estate transactional experience with substantial retail leasing reps (landlord-side, tenant-side, or both)—we consider candidates from roughly 3 years up through very senior levels, with no fixed cutoff;
- Active Texas bar admission;
- Strong independent drafting and negotiation skills on leases;
- Based in or willing to relocate to Dallas, in-office 3–4 days/week.
Requirements
Comp:
- Base starting in the low-to-mid $200Ks and scaling with experience, negotiable for the right background—
- We've moved meaningfully above range for the right fit—plus standard firm benefits.
