• Work with partners and other attorneys on title matters and related legal work.

• Keep current with Texas oil and gas law, regulations, and industry practices.

What You’ll Need

• Active license to practice law in Texas.

• Experience drafting oil and gas title opinions, ideally at least one year, or strong field landman experience for consideration.

• Strong legal research, writing, analytical, and organizational skills.

• Ability to manage multiple matters with attention to detail.

• Capacity to meet an annual billable requirement of 1,800 hours.

Compensation: Approximately $125,000 for one year of title-opinion experience and $135,000 for two years. Candidates with more extensive title-opinion drafting experience may be considered at a higher salary.
