Job description

We are seeking a talented and motivated attorney with 3–7 years of experience to join our corporate/transactional department, with a particular emphasis on commercial real estate. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys sophisticated transactional work, values meaningful client relationships, and is looking for a role with substantial responsibility and opportunities for professional growth.

The ideal candidate will have experience representing clients in a broad range of commercial real estate matters, including:

• Acquisitions and dispositions of commercial real estate
• Real estate development
• Commercial leasing and lease negotiations
• Real estate financing and related transactions
• Joint ventures and other real estate-related business transactions
• Due diligence, title and survey review, and closing matters
• Drafting and negotiating complex transactional documents
• Advising clients on legal, business, and risk considerations throughout the transaction life cycle

Our attorneys work closely with clients and have the opportunity to take an active role in transactions from initial structuring and negotiation through closing and beyond. We value attorneys who can understand both the legal and business objectives underlying a transaction and provide practical, solutions-oriented advice.

The successful candidate will be comfortable managing multiple matters and deadlines, working independently while collaborating with colleagues, and taking ownership of projects. This position offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated matters while developing long-term client relationships and expanding your transactional expertise. We are an in-office firm and we are not seeking candidates that are pursuing work-from-home or virtual arrangements.

We are looking for an attorney who brings:

• 3–7 years of relevant legal experience, preferably with a strong commercial real estate component
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• The ability to manage multiple transactions and priorities independently
• Strong attention to detail and sound judgment
• A practical, business-minded approach to client counseling
• Strong academic credentials and demonstrated professional achievement
• A willingness to take initiative and accept meaningful responsibility
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A collaborative, team-oriented approach
• A genuine commitment to exceptional client service and professional excellence

If you are an accomplished transactional attorney who enjoys complex commercial real estate work, wants meaningful client contact, and is ready to take the next step in your career, we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you.
