Real Estate Associate

Full-time

Simpson Judge USA

Commercial Real Estate Attorney | Manhattan, New York City

Join a firm that combines the close-knit culture and collaboration of a boutique with the infrastructure and standards of an AM LAW platform.

Intentionally smaller than many of its competitors, this firm delivers work of the highest calibre, advises many of the country's most sophisticated real estate clients, and competes with some of the largest firms in the market.

Associates benefit from direct exposure to partners and clients, with genuine opportunities to build long-term relationships within a high-performing team.

What You'll Do

  • Advise developers, institutional investors, family offices, private equity sponsors, lenders, landlords, and owners on sophisticated commercial real estate matters
  • Handle commercial acquisitions and dispositions
  • Work on complex office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use leasing transactions
  • Assist with development projects and joint ventures
  • Advise on borrower and lender-side real estate finance matters
  • Support asset management and portfolio transactions
  • Provide strategic commercial advice to high-profile real estate investors and owners
  • Take ownership of transactions, negotiate directly with counterparties, and work closely with highly regarded partners

What You'll Need

  • 4+ years' commercial real estate experience gained at a respected law firm
  • Admission to the New York Bar
  • A passion for commercial leasing, particularly within the New York market
  • Experience handling sophisticated acquisitions, dispositions, commercial leasing, and real estate finance matters
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills

What Else?

  • Cravath market compensation with market-leading bonus potential
  • Exposure to some of New York's most significant commercial real estate transactions
  • Early client contact and genuine responsibility from day one
  • Formal mentoring and structured career development
  • The opportunity to work alongside award-winning real estate lawyers recognised as leaders in the New York market
  • The resources and stability of a national full-service law firm with the culture, agility, and partner access of a specialist boutique
