Jobbeschreibung

Senior Leasing Attorney – Real Estate | Midtown Manhattan

I’m working with one of New York’s most respected real estate law firms on a senior hire for its leasing practice.

The firm

This is a well-established Midtown firm. Its real estate group is known across the New York market and is one of its best-known practices. It acts for major landlords, institutional owners, national retailers and growing tenants. The work is the kind you’d expect at a large firm, but the culture is collegial and partner-led. Senior lawyers run their own matters, deal directly with clients and are noticed. The firm is stable and growing, people stay a long time, and it has a clear record of promoting from within.

The role

This is a senior leasing role, and it isn’t a general real estate seat. You will:

• Lead commercial lease negotiations for landlords and tenants, covering office, retail and mixed-use deals, often for flagship New York properties
• Draft and negotiate leases, amendments, subleases, assignments, SNDAs, estoppels and work letters
• Run deals from LOI to signing, acting as the main contact for clients and brokers
• Supervise and mentor junior associates, and help build out the leasing practice
• Work with the firm’s financing, acquisitions and litigation teams on complex deals

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of commercial leasing experience, ideally in New York City, gained at a law firm, in-house or both
• Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with the judgment to handle sophisticated clients yourself
• Admission to the New York Bar (required)
• A portable book is welcome at partner level but not required. Counsel and senior associate candidates with excellent technical skills are just as interesting.

Why this one

• A real route to partnership for the right person, and the title is flexible to fit your experience
• A first-rate client base and a steady flow of high-profile New York leasing work
• Partner-level exposure without the big-firm bureaucracy
• Competitive pay and a supportive, long-tenured team

Compensation: $160,000 - $225,000 base, depending on level and experience
