About the role
Oil & Gas Contract Title Attorney
Location: Houston, TX
Experience: 3+ years
Our client, a prominent full-service law firm with a nationally recognized energy practice, is seeking an Oil & Gas Contract Title Attorney to join its Houston office. This opportunity is ideal for an attorney with Texas mineral title expertise looking to work on sophisticated upstream transactions and emerging CCUS matters.
What You’ll Work On
Conduct mineral title examinations and prepare leasehold title opinions
Perform due diligence and support curative and documentation work
Draft and negotiate JOAs, PSAs, farm-out/farm-in agreements, servitudes, conveyances, and other upstream energy contracts
Assist with CCUS-related work, including sequestration servitudes, lease agreements, and regulatory compliance
Work closely with clients, landmen, in-house counsel, and regulators
Manage multiple fast-paced projects simultaneously
What We’re Looking For:
Minimum 3+ years of experience in oil and gas, mineral title, energy transactions, property law, or related regulatory areas
Texas mineral law expertise and experience drafting Texas title opinions strongly preferred
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to meet a 1,900 billable hour requirement
Why This Role Stands Out
Sophisticated upstream energy work plus exposure to the growing CCUS space
Direct interaction with clients, landmen, in-house counsel, and regulators
Multiple paths to earn beyond base: billings bonus (based on collections), production bonus, and origination bonus
Benefits:
Competitive compensation (set based on graduation year and experience) plus a comprehensive bonus structure, including billings, production, and origination bonuses.
If you're a title attorney ready to build your practice with a firm that rewards both your work and your business development, we'd love to hear from you.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
