Job Description

A Houston law firm is seeking an attorney to join its practice representing special districts and local governmental entities. This role is especially well-suited for attorneys with experience in city, county, or state government who are interested in transitioning to private practice while continuing to work on meaningful public sector matters— in a 100% transactional, non-litigation role .

In this role, you will serve as outside general counsel to multiple special districts, advising on a wide range of day-to-day public law issues. A significant portion of the work involves reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts , along with providing practical legal guidance to boards, staff, and stakeholders. The position is highly client-facing and includes regular attendance at board and public meetings.

Relevant experience or interest includes:

  • Advising governmental entities
  • Drafting and negotiating contracts (a core component of the role)
  • Municipal law and public law matters
  • Open Meetings Act and public governance
  • Election law
  • Land use and zoning
  • Municipal finance, lending, or tax

The ideal candidate is responsive, detail-oriented, and comfortable advising clients in real time, with strong communication skills and sound judgment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a government attorney seeking to leverage their experience in a private practice setting while remaining closely connected to public sector work—without litigation.
