Job description

Looking for a real estate role that’s just as sophisticated as commercial development while making a lasting impact on communities?

Cohen Liuzzo PLLC is seeking a Real Estate Associate with 3-6 years of sophisticated transactional commercial real estate and multifamily housing experience. This is an opportunity to bring your commercial expertise to a growing practice that handles complex, multi-layered affordable housing transactions – work that is both challenging and rewarding.

Qualified candidates will have experience representing owners/developers of commercial/multifamily real estate and should have played key roles in complex property acquisitions/dispositions, joint ventures, development deals, and financing transactions. Affordable Housing experience is a plus.

In addition to the ability to support in “running a deal” and supervising deal team members, qualified candidates will have excellent academic credentials, strong communication and collaboration skills, confident drafting and editing abilities, as well as a commitment to excellence and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Salary: $155,000-185,000, commensurate with experience.

Cohen Liuzzo PLLC is a highly collaborative law firm with an open door culture and a strong commitment to mentorship and professional growth. Team members work closely together, receive hands on training and guidance from our partners, and are trusted with meaningful responsibility. Our focus on representing developers who create and preserve affordable housing allows team members to see the tangible, lasting impact of their work in communities across the country, while working with complicated financing structures in a sophisticated and collegial practice area.

We pair our mission driven work with a thoughtfully designed benefits package, including competitive healthcare options, a generous 401(k) match, backup family care, and 20 days of paid time off and 11 holidays. Day to day, we foster connection through a supportive, people first environment, weekly training sessions, and firm sponsored lunches Tuesday-Thursday.
