Job description

West77 Partners is a vertically integrated real estate development and investment company. We develop, build, own, and operate... which means the legal work here spans entity governance, real estate transactions, construction contracts, and loans and financing, not one narrow practice area.

We’re hiring a Legal Assistant to work directly with our Chief Counsel on the real estate, construction, and financing work behind every project we take on. Your day-to-day is the document side of real estate deals: purchase agreements, title and survey review, closings, loan documents, and the entity records that hold it all together.

What we’re looking for

This role is built for a self-starter. You’ll partner directly with Chief Counsel and Chief of Staff on live real estate, construction, and financing matters from day one, with real ownership and visible impact as the portfolio grows. You’ll learn fast by doing, chase down answers, and help shape how our legal function works. If you want responsibility early and enjoy building as you go, we’d like to meet you.

What you’ll do

• Support real estate transactions from contract to close: track purchase and sale agreement deadlines, manage closing checklists, and coordinate with development. Communicate with title officers, lenders, and outside counsel.
• Order and organize title commitments, surveys, and due diligence for acquisitions, financings, and dispositions.
• Coordinate document execution: signature routing, notarization, and recording with county offices.
• Work alongside our finance team on loan documentation, covenant deadlines, and lender requests
• Assist with due diligence collection for acquisitions, financings, and dispositionsSupport contract review and redline tracking for vendor, service, and transactional agreements
• Track legal deadlines, contract renewal dates, and time-sensitive items on a shared legal calendar

A few requirements

• 1-3 years as a legal assistant, paralegal, or title/escrow professional with direct real estate transaction experience, whether at a law firm, title company, lender, or developer.
• Comfortable working independently in a lean environment. You can take an unfamiliar task, find the right answer or the right question, and move it forward.
• Strong organization and attention to detail; you have demonstrated experience in keeping multiple active matters moving.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office and any document management system.
• Discretion with confidential and privileged information is required.

A few "nice-to-haves"

• Hands-on experience moving real estate deals to close: closing checklists, title and survey review, and signature notarization, and recording logistics.
• Familiarity with corporate governance documents and multi-entity structures, such as operating agreements, resolutions, and entity registers.
• Experience with construction contracts or loan documentation.
• Paralegal certificate or interest in obtaining one.
