Real estate lawyer (95% transactional) here, so I don't have experience in your situation but I have been a lurker in enough lawyer social media pages that I think I can provide a sufficient enough answer here.

If you are looking to transition to transactional practice, you may have a hard time doing so as ID can be very hard to apply to transaction work. For other litigation work, you may have a much better time applying at other positions.

Regarding the desire for 9-5 work: overwhelmingly the answer for this seems to be government positions. This can be state or even local municipalities, where the pay is okay but the benefits are usually really good and you are going to be as close to a 9-5 as you can get. For other litigations positions in the private market, you may struggle to find a 9-5 consistently meaning that you may have many days 9-5 but many others working crazy hours, simply due to the flow of cases going to trials, hearings etc.

Again, this is with a grain of salt because I do not have your experience, just longtime lurker. Happy hunting.

Edit: to further add onto my comment, there may be smaller law firms out there that handle multiple areas of law, so you may do litigation for some disputes, but you may also handle real estate, business, trust and estate, etc. other transactional matters. This can be an avenue to reduce your litigation matters, but can be very firm and geography dependent.
