City Electric Supply (Dallas, TX): Denton Muse was promoted from associate general counsel to general counsel of CES North America. In his new role, he will oversee CES legal operations in North America and ensure the company remains proactive in addressing legal complexities while managing compliance across more than 30 states.
His tenure at CES has included leasing work, commercial contract management, complex property transactions, and oversight of legal staff. Over the past six years, the CES legal department has expanded significantly to meet the demands of the company’s rapid growth. His responsibilities have included managing risks across commercial agreements, property transactions, HR, litigation, M&A, government compliance, IT agreements, intellectual property, finance and privacy."
After graduating from law school, Muse wanted to go into real estate law, and after working for a commercial real estate firm, he met a CES property manager. That meeting led to a discussion eight years ago with CES’s general counsel, who told him, “We have an extensive portfolio of real estate that we buy, sell and lease, and we need someone dedicated to the legal oversight of these transactions.” He hired him Muse.
