• J.D. from an accredited law school.
• Active and in-good-standing admission to at least one U.S. state bar.
• 5+ years experience handling commercial real estate finance transactions.
• Prior law firm experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with lender-side or borrower-side financing matters; experience representing both sides is advantageous.
• Strong drafting, negotiation, diligence, and transaction-management skills.
• Ability to work efficiently with limited supervision in a high-volume practice.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage several active matters simultaneously.
• Structured finance experience is helpful but not required unless directly relevant to the assigned matters.
