Job Description

Salt Lake City continues to attract professionals who value clean air, mountain access, and a thriving business community. This opportunity offers a place in that ecosystem : a respected, collaborative legal team seeking a seasoned attorney to take on some of Utah's most meaningful water, land, and development matters. Mission Recruiting is proud to represent this long-established firm as it expands its Real Estate and Land Use group with a dedicated water-law practitioner .

This role centers on sophisticated work involving water rights, adjudication, permitting, regulatory compliance, and the intersection of land development with natural-resource issues . It's an ideal fit for an attorney who thrives on solving complex regulatory challenges, enjoys close interaction with state and local agencies, and appreciates the balance of hands-on client service and long-term strategic planning.

What You'll Do

  • Guide clients through water-rights adjudications, permitting, and regulatory compliance
  • Manage change applications, non-use matters, groundwater and surface-water issues, and related agency processes
  • Advise on land-use and zoning matters, including entitlements, development applications, and municipal interactions
  • Draft and review real-estate documents and regulatory filings
  • Monitor developments in Utah water law, environmental regulation, and land-use requirements
  • Partner with colleagues across the real estate, corporate, and environmental teams
  • Provide practical, strategic counsel to a diverse client base, including developers, municipalities, and private stakeholders
  • Mentor junior team members as part of a supportive, growth-minded practice

What Will Help You Thrive

  • A strong background in water law and hands-on experience handling adjudications, permitting, or regulatory matters
  • Familiarity with land use, zoning, environmental, or natural-resource issues
  • A Juris Doctor and active membership in a U.S. bar, with openness to obtaining Utah Bar membership
  • Clear communication, strong writing ability, and confidence in managing complex matters independently
  • An interest in contributing to a collaborative, relationship-driven practice culture
  • Compensation

  • Base salary : $170,000 to $188,000
  • Generous performance-based bonus structure
  • Hybrid flexibility available for strong candidates
  • Realistic partnership path
  • Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage (with dental 100 percent employer-paid for employees and families)
  • PPO and HDHP options with cost-sharing
  • Life and AD&D insurance with optional supplemental coverage
  • Short-term and long-term disability insurance
  • Supplemental long-term care insurance
  • 401(k) with full match up to 3 percent, plus discretionary profit sharing
  • Health Savings Account with employer contributions
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
  • Free parking or public transit pass
  • No waiting periods for benefits
  • FMLA, unemployment, and workers' compensation support
  • Work Expectations

  • Office-focused role with one hybrid day per week
  • Reasonable workload with an annual billable goal structured for sustainability
  • If you're looking to deepen your water-law practice while joining a respected and stable legal team, Mission Recruiting would love to connect with you. Let's discuss how this position can align with your experience, goals, and life in Utah .
