Description:

Description:
Associate Attorney (Real Estate Transactions, Probate & Estate Planning)

Location: Rio Rancho, New Mexico (Hybrid/Remote Flexibility Available)

Firm Type: Boutique, Systems-Driven, Tech-Forward

Are you a talented attorney who loves the law but hates the "chaos" of traditional law firms?

In 2025, we overhauled how we practice law. We stopped chasing clients for money, implemented bi-monthly billing, and built a world-class remote support team of 6 paralegals and assistants. The result? A profitable, streamlined firm where the attorney gets to focus on high-level strategy and client advocacy rather than administrative headaches.

We are looking for an Associate Attorney who is meticulous, tech-savvy, and ready to step into a firm that has the "engine" already running.

Responsibilities:
What You'll Do:

Focus on Strategy: Handle commercial lease drafting/reviews, real estate purchase agreements, estate planning, streamlined procedural litigation, and real estate title & estate resolution.
Lead the Team: Review work product from our highly trained remote paralegals (deeds, estate plans, and quiet title actions).
Leverage Tech: Use AI-driven tools to increase your efficiency and output.
Direct Client Contact: Be the lead advisor for clients during their most critical transitions.

Qualifications:
Who You Are:

Licensed to practice law in New Mexico.
Experienced: Ideally 2–5 years in Real Estate or Probate, but we value competence and character over a specific year count.
Detail-Oriented: You take pride in "bulletproof" drafting. You're the person who catches the typo in the legal description that everyone else missed.
Systems-Minded: You enjoy using technology to work smarter, not harder.

Compensation:

$85,000 - $100,000 yearly
