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.

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. ____________ • Experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating real estate transaction documents with a focus on client protection. • Ability to collaborate effectively with a remote support team to enhance client service and streamline case management. • Proven track record of conducting thorough legal research to provide strategic and informed advice to clients. • Experience in preparing and filing probate and estate planning documents, ensuring compliance with legal standards. • Ability to participate in client meetings, offering clear and actionable guidance on case strategies. • Proficiency in utilizing tech-forward systems to manage case files efficiently and reduce administrative burdens. • Commitment to staying updated on legal trends and changes in real estate and probate law to maintain a competitive edge for the firm.
