Real Estate Attorney (In-House)
$200k - $250kLaw Firms
In-House Real Estate Attorney
Location: Darien, CT (Hybrid – 3 days onsite) | Open to Remote for the right candidate
Type: Full-Time, In-House
Experience: 3+ Years
The Opportunity:
Are you a talented Real Estate Attorney tired of the 2,000+ billable hour grind? We are representing a premier, SEC-registered private investment firm in Darien, CT, that is redefining the real estate debt space. Since 2019, they have seen explosive growth, scaling their Assets Under Management (AUM) from $75M to nearly $1B.
Unlike a traditional law firm, this is a true 9-to-5 in-house role where you are a strategic partner, not just a service provider. You will sit at the intersection of law and private equity, managing sophisticated real estate transactions for a firm that specializes in high-yield private funds and real estate loans.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Scale & Stability: Join a firm with a proven track record of 1,100%+ AUM growth in just a few years.
- Quality of Life: No billable hours. A standard 9 AM – 5 PM schedule designed for long-term sustainability.
- Direct Impact: You aren't just reviewing docs; you are facilitating the deals that drive the firm’s $950M+ portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage legal aspects of real estate debt transactions, including loan originations, syndications, and asset management.
- Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial real estate loan documents and inter-creditor agreements.
- Collaborate directly with the investment team to assess legal risks and structure creative solutions for private fund investments.
- Ensure compliance with SEC regulations and internal investment mandates.
The Ideal Candidate
- Experience: 3+ years of sophisticated legal experience in Commercial Real Estate, Private Equity, or Debt Funds.
- Background: Strong foundation in lending/commercial lenders, REITs, or real estate-focused law firms.
- Mindset: Entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, and ready to thrive in a fast-paced investment environment.
- Education: JD from an accredited law school and active Bar membership.
Salary and Other Compensation
The annual salary for this position is between $200,000 – $250,000 . Factors which may affect pay within this range include geography/market, skills, education, experience, and other qualifications of the successful candidate. This range is flexible for highly qualified candidates.
Bonus: Discretionary annual performance bonus.
Benefits
The Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:
- Medical Insurance: $500/month contribution toward employee premiums.
- Dental & Vision Insurance: Comprehensive coverage options available.
- 401(k) Retirement Plan: 4% employer match to help secure your future.
- Paid Time Off: 2 to 3 weeks of negotiable PTO plus paid holidays annually.
- Work-Life Balance: Hybrid flexibility and a culture that respects your time.
The Interview Process
We value your time. Our streamlined process consists of:
- Two Zoom Interviews (Meet the leadership team).
- One In-Person Office Tour (See the space and finalize the offer).
Apply today to take the next step in your in-house legal career with a firm that values expertise over extra hours.
