Commercial Real Estate Associate/Counsel

The Role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take on a mix of property-related transactional matters within a law firm practice, from document preparation through closing. You will run files with partner guidance and work closely with commercially minded clients. The position comes with a route toward partnership.

What You'll Do

Prepare and negotiate purchase agreements, leases and loan documentation.

Steer closings with limited day-to-day supervision.

Advise clients directly and propose workable solutions instead of simply raising issues.

Examine title and survey materials for complex property deals.

Assist with development-related approvals, agreements and incentive arrangements.

Partner with senior lawyers on high-profile financings, tax-deferred exchanges and mixed-use projects.

What We're Looking For

Recent, uninterrupted law firm experience handling commercial property transactions, at least 3 years.

Capacity to manage a matter independently under partner review, without needing step-by-step direction.

A steady, consistent career history.

Excellent written work and close attention to detail, reflected in a clean, error-free resume.

A pragmatic, client-focused mindset geared toward closing deals.

Background advising on the development side of property projects.

Familiarity with local government approvals and incentive programs for real estate projects.

Not currently based in New York, unless joining together with partners.

Willingness to be in the office 3 to 4 days per week.

Location And Work Model

Roseland, NJ, United States (preferred) or Woodbridge, NJ, United States
