Larson Maddox

Associate Counsel - Established Real Estate Investment Firm

Fort Lauderdale / Miami, Florida (Fully On-Site)

An established and growing real estate investment firm is seeking an Associate Counsel to join its legal team in South Florida. This position will serve as a key legal advisor to the company's investment, acquisitions, asset management, and finance teams, providing counsel on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions and financing matters. The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in real estate finance, debt transactions, and lender-side or loan origination matters. Relevant experience with commercial real estate lending, mortgage finance, structured finance, or debt fund transactions is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Provide legal support for the origination, structuring, negotiation, and closing of commercial real estate debt transactions.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate loan documents, term sheets, guarantees, intercreditor agreements, and related financing documentation.
  • Advise investment and asset management teams on debt financing strategies and portfolio matters.
  • Support acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, and other real estate investment transactions.
  • Coordinate with outside counsel, lenders, borrowers, and other transaction stakeholders to facilitate deal execution.
  • Identify and mitigate legal and business risks associated with financing and investment activities.
  • Assist with corporate governance, compliance, and general commercial contracting matters as needed.
  • Partner directly with senior leadership on strategic initiatives and business objectives.

Qualifications

  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership.
  • 3-5+ years of experience with commercial real estate finance, debt financing, lending transactions, or loan origination matters.
  • Background representing lenders, debt funds, commercial banks, private credit platforms, mortgage lenders, or real estate finance groups strongly preferred.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating loan agreements, security documents, and related financing instruments.
  • Familiarity with commercial real estate acquisitions, dispositions, and investment structures.
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and project management skills.
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment with regular interaction with business stakeholders.

Preferred Backgrounds

  • Real Estate Finance Associate from an AM Law 100 or 200 Firm.
  • In-house counsel with a commercial real estate lender, debt fund, mortgage platform, REIT, or investment manager.
  • Attorneys with experience supporting bridge loans, construction loans, mezzanine financing, CMBS transactions, warehouse facilities, or other commercial real estate lending products.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-capitalized real estate investment platform and work closely with senior leadership on complex and high-value financing and investment transactions.
