M&A / Corporate Transactions Paralegal
North Dallas, TX | In-Office
Are you a seasoned transactional paralegal who loves the fast pace of deal work and wants to play a meaningful role in sophisticated business transactions?
A highly respected North Dallas boutique law firm is seeking an experienced M&A / Corporate Transactions Paralegal to join its growing transactional practice. This is an opportunity to work alongside accomplished attorneys on mergers & acquisitions, commercial lending transactions, private equity matters, and commercial real estate transactions while enjoying the culture and accessibility of a boutique firm.
If you're the type of paralegal who thrives on managing complex closings, coordinating moving pieces, and keeping transactions on track from start to finish, we'd love to speak with you.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Unlike many firms where paralegals become narrowly focused in one area, this role offers exposure to a broad range of sophisticated transactions and the opportunity to be a trusted member of the deal team.
You'll work directly with attorneys and clients on:
- Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
- Commercial Lending Transactions
- Private Equity Investments
- Commercial Real Estate Transactions
- Corporate Governance Matters
- Entity Formations
- Due Diligence Reviews
- Complex Transaction Closings
This is a highly visible role where your expertise, organization, and attention to detail will have a direct impact on client success.
What You'll Be Doing
- Coordinate and manage complex transactional closings from start to finish
- Prepare and organize closing checklists, schedules, exhibits, and closing binders
- Assist attorneys with M&A transactions, loan transactions, and commercial real estate closings
- Draft and prepare corporate resolutions, consents, certificates, agreements, and organizational documents
- Conduct due diligence reviews and summarize findings
- Prepare entity formations and multi-state corporate filings
- Handle UCC filings, lien searches, and corporate records requests
- Coordinate with lenders, title companies, clients, and outside parties to keep transactions moving efficiently
- Maintain electronic files, data rooms, and post-closing documentation

This is not a general corporate paralegal position.
To be successful, candidates should have:
- 10+ years of corporate transactional paralegal experience
- Significant law firm experience supporting transactional attorneys
- Direct experience with M&A transactions and complex closings
- Commercial lending transaction experience
- Strong experience with due diligence and corporate governance documentation
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Exceptional organization, professionalism, and attention to detail
- Paralegal Certificate required
