Real Estate Finance Counsel / Partner

$250k

Lex Key Partners

Build the real estate practice in New York for a national AmLaw 200 firm.

This is a rare chance to be the go-to real estate lawyer in an office that already generates deal flow, with the resources of a national platform behind you.

Our client is a respected national firm with a well-established New York office. Its corporate and banking & finance teams there are strong and busy. What’s missing is a dedicated commercial real estate lawyer, and the firm wants to bring in a seasoned real estate finance attorney to own that practice locally

What you’ll do

  • Lead commercial real estate finance matters for lenders, owners, sponsors, developers, investors, and funds
  • Handle mortgage, mezzanine, and construction loans from term sheet through closing
  • Advise on acquisitions, sales, development, leasing, condominium matters, and loan restructurings/workouts
  • Work alongside the NY corporate and finance groups on cross-practice transactions

What they’re looking for

  • 8+ years of commercial real estate experience with a clear focus on finance
  • Lender-side experience strongly preferred
  • Ability to run complex deals independently, with excellent drafting and negotiating skills
  • Comfortable as the real estate anchor in the NY office, collaborating with firm colleagues in other offices
  • Admitted in New York

Book of business: Not required for Counsel. For Partner, a modest book or existing client relationships are required ($250K). They value the right lawyer over portable revenue.

Compensation: $300,000–$400,000 + base, depending on experience, plus bonus eligibility, comprehensive health and insurance benefits, and a 401(k).
