Distinct | North America

Commercial real estate is ultimately a relationship business. The strongest real estate attorneys are not simply technical lawyers. They are trusted advisors who understand transactions, anticipate risks, and help clients move deals forward efficiently. A growing real estate practice is seeking an associate with approximately 4–6 years of experience to join a sophisticated transactional team representing institutional investors, developers, private equity sponsors, and other market participants across a broad range of commercial real estate matters. This role offers the opportunity to work on complex transactions involving office, retail, healthcare, mixed use, and other commercial asset classes while gaining direct exposure to clients and significant responsibility within deal teams. What This Opportunity Offers Many real estate associates spend years working on isolated portions of transactions. This role is designed for attorneys who want broader involvement in the deal process, greater ownership of matters, and the opportunity to develop into a lead transaction attorney. You will work closely with experienced practitioners on acquisitions, dispositions, financings, and development projects while building the commercial judgment that distinguishes exceptional real estate lawyers. Responsibilities Represent clients in commercial real estate acquisitions and dispositions Draft, review, and negotiate purchase agreements and transaction documents Manage due diligence processes and transaction timelines Assist with debt and equity financing transactions Advise clients on development projects and related real estate matters Coordinate with lenders, investors, brokers, consultants, and opposing counsel to facilitate successful closings Qualifications 4–6 years of commercial real estate transactional experience J.D. from an accredited law school Admission to practice in the applicable jurisdiction Strong drafting, negotiation, and deal management skills Excellent analytical and communication abilities Ability to manage multiple transactions in a fast paced environment Why Attorneys Consider This Opportunity Sophisticated work with institutional investors, developers, and private equity clients Significant responsibility and direct client interaction Exposure to a variety of asset classes and transaction structures Collaborative team environment with strong mentorship Clear opportunities for professional growth and advancement This opportunity is ideal for attorneys who enjoy the business side of legal practice and are looking for a platform where they can continue developing into a trusted commercial real estate advisor. #J-18808-Ljbffr
