Senior Transactional Attorney

Salary: $130K - $150K

What we're looking for:

We need a senior transactional attorney with 10+ years of practice experience in business law who can independently manage a transactional matter portfolio from day one. You should be comfortable working in a growing boutique firm environment and have a demonstrated track record in M&A, tax, land use, or broader corporate transactional work. Bonus points if you bring specialized expertise in mergers & acquisitions, tax structuring, or land use entitlements — these are high-demand, higher-billing-rate practice areas with very few practitioners in Idaho.

What you'll do:

  • Own and manage a full transactional matter portfolio independently, including contract drafting, negotiation, buy/sell agreements, and corporate structuring
  • Lead M&A transactions from diligence through structuring and closing for small-to-mid-cap private deals
  • Advise clients on tax structuring, land use entitlements, zoning, and real estate transactions
  • Work directly with the CEO/Managing Partner (Matt) on complex transactional matters and firm growth strategy
  • Cross-collaborate with the firm's litigation team when transactional matters become contested
  • Help shape and expand the firm's transactional practice areas as the firm scales from 6 to 11+ attorneys

About the opportunity:

  • Work-life balance: Only 120 billable hours/month minimum (1,440/year) — no consultation, pro bono, or marketing requirements. Most attorneys are out by 5pm every night.
  • Uncapped quarterly bonus: Formulaic, objective bonus paid quarterly based on revenue, hours, and captured work rate — attorneys typically earn $25K–$100K+ annually in bonuses above base.
  • No book of business required: The firm invests ~$200K/year in marketing to bring in new clients. A book is welcome (with adjusted compensation) but not necessary.
  • Partnership track: Non-equity partnership opportunity after 1–2 years of commitment (program currently being developed).
  • Growth market: Idaho is one of the fastest-growing US states — M&A and land use deal flow is strong without coastal market hours.
