You've built a construction practice — disputes, liens, defects, contracts, the full project lifecycle. This is the platform that matches it: a Chambers-ranked construction group where the work is the firm's reputation, not a side practice.
A bit about us:
Founded in close to 30 years ago and based in Houston (77056), we are a corporate-focused Texas firm whose construction practice is ranked among the best in the state by Chambers USA. Our construction group represents the full chain of a project — general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, developers, and owners — and the depth we've built over three-plus decades has given us a national footprint that reaches well beyond Texas. Construction isn't a side practice here. It's the work that made the firm's name.
Why join us?
- Base salary $150k–$220k + bonus
- Medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k)
- Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
- Hybrid remote schedule
- A Chambers-ranked construction platform where this practice is the firm's identity, not an afterthought
- Direct client relationships with the contractors, developers, and owners driving Texas construction
- Cross-referral pipeline from the firm's real estate, corporate, and energy groups
- Partnership track
