Commercial real estate is a very specific field to study. Those seeking legal recruitment often focus on niche areas to find the best possible positions, and the real estate market is chock full of unique settlements that result from odd situations. Recently, one Texas firm was acknowledged for its attorneys’ achievements in this sector.
Law Firm Newswire reported Houston-based company Andrews Myers successfully motioned for the dismissal of charges from a mortgage backed securities lender against one of its corporate real estate development clients. Over the course of two years, lawyers from Andrews Myers convinced a federal court that appointing a client receiver would be impractical and not fundamentally sound. The result enabled the client to maintain control of its assets and continue practicing quality business.
Andrews Myers was founded in 1990, and has plenty of opportunities for those seeking employment in Texas real estate and construction law. The law firm hires expert lawyers and attorneys who specialize in construction, commercial real estate and corporate and business transactions. This includes other areas such as bankruptcy and insolvency, employment and capital formation.
Established companies such as Andrews Myers are hard to break into, however. Only the most vigilant of attorney headhunters can find positions at top firms, and even the best candidates might be turned down if they do not have the necessary connections and industry experience.
