Department: Energy Law

About the Opportunity

R. Reese & Associates is seeking a new or recent law school graduate to join our firm in our Houston or Dallas office. This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants to build a career in the energy industry while developing a broad legal foundation. Rather than beginning in a narrowly defined practice group, this associate will gain exposure and cross-practice training across RR&A’s Corporate, Commercial, and Title practices while working alongside experienced attorneys serving an established energy client base. Now in our eighth year, RR&A has built a strong roster of clients and a collaborative practice that gives young attorneys the opportunity to learn the energy business, develop meaningful client relationships, and grow with the firm.

What You'll Do

As an associate, you will work directly with attorneys across multiple practice areas and gain hands-on experience with matters that may include: 

• Corporate formations, governance, transactions, and general business matters 
• Commercial agreements and energy-related contracts 
• Land, title, and transactional matters
• Legal research, drafting, and analysis 
• Due diligence and document review 
• Supporting transactions from initial diligence through closing 
• Direct collaboration with partners, senior attorneys, clients, and other members of the firm 
• Exposure to the commercial considerations underlying our clients’ legal needs 

The role is designed to evolve as you develop your skills, identify areas of interest, and take on greater responsibility.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in building a career in energy law and wants the opportunity to learn across practice areas. 

Candidates should have: 

• J.D. from an accredited law school or expected graduation in the current academic year 
• State bar admission, pending admission, or eligibility to sit for a U.S. state bar examination  
• Demonstrated interest in the energy sector through relevant coursework, internships, clerkships, or other experience 
• Prior clerkship or internship experience with an energy-focused law firm, company, or organization is a plus 
• Strong legal research, writing, and analytical skills 
• Intellectual curiosity and an interest in understanding both the legal and business sides of the energy industry 
• Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and responsiveness 
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to learn across disciplines 

Location

This is an in-person position based in RR&A’s Houston or Arlington office.

We believe early-career attorneys benefit significantly from working alongside experienced attorneys, participating in client discussions, and learning through day-to-day collaboration.

Why RR&A — What This Role Offers You

At RR&A, we view the first several years of practice as an investment in building both a strong attorney and a strong professional. 

We offer: 

• Cross-practice training across Corporate, Commercial, and Title matters 
• Direct mentorship and access to experienced attorneys 
• Early exposure to an established energy industry client base 
• Increasing responsibility and client interaction as your skills develop 
• Firm-supported professional development, industry involvement, and networking opportunities 
• Opportunities to attend industry events and begin building your own professional network 
• A well-supported practice with paralegal, assistant, and administrative resources 
• Competitive compensation and potential bonus 
• Health insurance, 401(k) with matching, and open PTO 
• Meaningful opportunity for advancement as the firm continues to grow 

For a new attorney who wants to dive into energy law, develop across multiple disciplines, and build a long-term career within the industry, RR&A offers the opportunity to start broad, learn quickly, and grow into the areas where you excel.
