Real Estate Attorney

Real Estate Associate | New York | Confidential Search

Lean deal teams. Real responsibility. A boutique where your work gets noticed.

A highly regarded New York real estate boutique is adding a talented associate to its growing practice, and this is not a seat you’ll find on a job board.

Why this role is different

At a large firm, a mid-level real estate associate can spend years on the margins of a deal. Here, deal teams are intentionally lean, so you work shoulder to shoulder with experienced partners and senior attorneys from day one. You’ll take ownership of matters, build client relationships, and develop the judgment that defines a top-tier real estate lawyer.

The work - It's a mix that includes...

• Commercial real estate finance: sophisticated lending transactions where structure and detail matter
• Joint ventures: complex equity arrangements and capital partnerships
• Leasing: high-value commercial transactions in one of the world’s most demanding markets

What you bring

• 3 to 7 years of commercial real estate experience
• Admission to the New York Bar
• A background at a quality law firm with exposure to sophisticated transactional work
• Hands-on experience in real estate finance, joint ventures, leasing, or related commercial transactions
• Exceptional drafting, analytical, and communication skills
• The drive to take ownership and grow into an outstanding real estate attorney

What you’ll get

• Competitive compensation
• High-caliber work with meaningful responsibility
• A genuinely collegial culture with direct access to senior attorneys
• A growing practice with real long-term potential, for the right attorney, a lasting future at the firm
