A bit about us:

Real Estate Associate
Boston or New York

A highly regarded full-service law firm is seeking a talented Real Estate Associate to join its sophisticated transactional real estate practice in Boston or New York.

This position offers the opportunity to work on a broad range of complex commercial real estate matters, including acquisitions, dispositions, financings, joint ventures, leasing transactions, development projects, and distressed real estate matters. The successful candidate will work with institutional investors, developers, lenders, owners, operators, and other sophisticated market participants on transactions involving a variety of property types and investment structures.

Unlike a leasing-focused position, this role is designed for an attorney seeking exposure across the full life cycle of commercial real estate transactions. The associate will have the opportunity to develop a versatile practice, take meaningful ownership of matters, and work directly with clients and experienced partners.

Why join us?

Why Consider This Opportunity?

The firm offers a sophisticated real estate platform with the breadth of work typically associated with a larger national practice, combined with a collegial environment and meaningful access to partners and clients.

This opportunity is particularly well suited for an associate seeking:

Broad exposure across commercial real estate transactions rather than a narrowly focused practice.
Sophisticated acquisitions, financings, joint ventures, and development work.
Experience with both conventional and distressed real estate matters.
Meaningful drafting, negotiation, and closing responsibility.
Direct client contact and opportunities to develop long-term relationships.
Collaboration with attorneys across complementary transactional and regulatory practices.
Strong mentorship and a clear path toward increasing autonomy and advancement.
The opportunity to join a respected and well-established real estate practice in Boston or New York.

Job Details

Key Responsibilities
Represent clients in commercial real estate acquisitions and dispositions.
Draft and negotiate purchase and sale agreements, letters of intent, closing documents, and related transaction materials.
Assist with real estate financing transactions representing borrowers, lenders, investors, or other transaction parties.
Draft and negotiate loan documents, mortgages, assignments, guarantees, and related financing agreements.
Advise clients on joint ventures, investment structures, development arrangements, and ownership matters.
Handle commercial leasing matters as part of larger transactions and client portfolios.
Assist with foreclosures, workouts, troubled debt restructurings, and distressed real estate matters.
Review title commitments, surveys, zoning reports, environmental reports, property records, and other due diligence materials.
Identify title, land use, environmental, and transactional risks and recommend practical solutions.
Coordinate deal closings and work with clients, opposing counsel, lenders, title companies, consultants, and other transaction professionals.
Manage transaction timelines, document production, due diligence, and closing deliverables.
Work collaboratively with attorneys across tax, corporate, finance, construction, land use, environmental, and litigation practices.
Take increasing responsibility for managing transactions and client relationships as experience develops.
Qualifications
Meaningful commercial real estate transactional experience gained at a law firm or comparable legal environment.
Experience in several of the following areas:
Acquisitions and dispositions
Commercial real estate finance
Leasing
Joint ventures
Development transactions
Foreclosures and loan workouts
Troubled debt restructurings
Title and survey review
Environmental and land use matters
Strong drafting, negotiation, analytical, and organizational skills.
Ability to identify legal and business risks within complex transactions.
Experience managing due diligence and coordinating closings.
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple active matters.
Strong interpersonal and client-service skills.
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with partners, associates, and other professionals.
Massachusetts or New York Bar admission, depending on office location, is required or must be obtainable promptly.
