Position: Transactional Attorney

About the Role

This role focuses on a variety of business and corporate transactions, offering hands-on exposure to deal work and client interaction. Attorneys will work directly with leadership and clients on transactional matters, with the opportunity to grow into a more independent role over time.

Candidates with a minimum of 2 years of experience will be considered if they demonstrate strong transactional aptitude.

• Health (BCBS of AZ), dental, and vision fully covered for employee
• Business development and CLE support
• In-office role (Phoenix)

Preferred (Not Required)

• Direct exposure to deal work and client interaction
• Opportunity to grow into a more senior transactional role
• Support for business development and long-term growth
