Real Estate Attorney (In-House)

$200k - $250k

Law 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:

  1. Two Zoom Interviews (Meet the leadership team).
  2. 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.
