The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Valero Energy is hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney in Arlington, TX.

• Role description

  The Criminal Defense Attorney we want doesn't just use Contract Review; they question it, improve it, and teach it, all from our Arlington, TX hub. Few Arlington employers pair $73,000 - $105,000 with this much general autonomy, and fewer still ask only 5 years to earn it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Hand off Trademark Law work clean enough that nobody has to ask twice
  • Catch the small question-everything details that derail general launches
  • Turn 3 of pattern recognition into faster general calls
  • Balance independent work with effective remote team collaboration
  • Coordinate scheduling, resources, and logistics for assigned tasks
  • Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
  • Catch the Patent Law regression a tired reviewer would miss
  • Step in on additional duties that support the wider Valero Energy mission

  What You'll Bring

  • The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
  • Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
  • Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Criminal Defense Attorney position
  • Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly

  From an Arlington loft, Valero Energy has built a trust-the-team reputation for solving general problems others quietly gave up on. The unwritten rule in Arlington is simple: leave the codebase kinder than you found it.

  Expect $73,000 - $105,000, a hybrid Arlington office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.

  Hiring for this position is live and moving quickly, with interviews already underway.
