Role: Real Estate Associate

Location: New York, NY

Salary: $260,000 – $390,000

About the Practice

I'm currently assisting a global AM20 law firm in their search for a talented Real Estate Associate for their NY office. The firm’s Real Estate Group advises on a broad range of sophisticated transactions, from acquisitions and financings to development, land use and affordable housing work , offering associates exposure to a genuinely diverse practice on a premier global platform.

Ranked by both Chambers USA and The Legal 500, the group has been recognized by Chambers for more than two decades and is noted for its diverse practice and particular strength in complex financings. The Legal 500 also ranks the team for large-cap real estate transactions and REITs, and the New York team has recently strengthened its leadership with a senior lateral partner hire.

What’s on Offer

  • $260,000–$390,000 base, depending on qualifications and experience
  • Bonus eligibility and a comprehensive benefits program
  • A broad, full-service real estate practice within a top-tier global firm
  • High-value transactions in New York and nationwide
  • Long-term career development at a premier firm

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Work on a wide range of commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, lending and joint ventures
  • Gain exposure to leasing, construction, development, land use and entitlements matters
  • Advise landlords and tenants on complex leasing matters, including build-to-suit leases, sale-leasebacks and ground leases
  • Act for a diverse client base of REITs, pension funds, opportunity funds and financial institutions, working alongside the firm’s tax, finance and M&A teams
  • Take meaningful responsibility with direct exposure to clients and senior lawyers across all stages of complex deals

What They’re Looking For

  • At least 3 years of real estate transactional experience in one or more of the following: acquisitions, dispositions, lending, joint ventures, leasing, construction, development, land use, entitlements and/or LIHTC transactions
  • Strong academic credentials
  • Excellent writing and organizational skills, with a collaborative, team-oriented approach
  • Admission to the New York Bar (or eligibility to obtain admission promptly)

MUST BE AN ATTORNEY TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE
