$165k

Simpson Judge USA

Job Title: Senior Real Estate Paralegal

Location: Chicago

Salary: Up to $165,000

Work in one of the United States most respected real estate practice groups. The firm advises major institutional investors, developers, owners, lenders, and corporate clients on sophisticated real estate matters across the full property lifecycle, from acquisitions and development through leasing, financing, and dispositions.

For an ambitious paralegal, the opportunity goes well beyond the role itself. You’ll have the opportunity to expand your expertise, take on increasing responsibility, gain exposure to different areas of real estate, and build relationships across a global network.

The Role

  • Support attorneys on commercial real estate acquisitions, dispositions, development, and leasing matters
  • Manage transactions from due diligence through closing and post-closing
  • Coordinate title, survey, entity, UCC, and other due diligence matters
  • Prepare and organize closing documentation and transaction files
  • Work closely with attorneys, clients, title companies, lenders, brokers, and opposing counsel
  • Develop hands-on experience in commercial leasing alongside an established transactional real estate background

The Ideal Candidate

  • 8+ years of real estate paralegal experience
  • Strong commercial real estate transactional experience
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Able to manage multiple complex matters and competing deadlines
  • Strong communication and client-service skills
  • Interest in expanding into commercial leasing

Why Consider It?

A chance to join a highly regarded national platform, work on high-profile commercial real estate matters, and develop your expertise across both transactional real estate and leasing.

Education

  • Associate degree in Paralegal Studies (or related field) required or Bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies or Paralegal certificate with related transactional experience

If this role aligns with your experience or if you’re interested in learning about other opportunities, please reach out directly:
