What they’re looking for:

• Approximately 2–8 years of commercial real estate experience
• Commercial leasing experience, particularly office, retail, and industrial leasing
• Acquisitions and dispositions experience

Candidates do not need experience across every area. The firm is interested in attorneys with meaningful experience in one or more of these areas who want to continue broadening their practice.

Why take a hard look at this opportunity:

• $250,000–$440,000 base compensation with a great bonus structure
• Sophisticated real estate work for developers, institutional investors, investment managers, financial institutions, REITs, and other leading market participants

• Strong long-term growth opportunities and a realistic path to partnership

This is an excellent opportunity for an associate who wants sophisticated real estate work, strong compensation, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to develop a broad transactional practice within a collaborative team.
