- Draft and negotiate purchase and sale agreements, leases, loan documents, and other transaction documents
- Manage acquisitions and dispositions from initial due diligence through closing
- Review and resolve title, survey, zoning, and other property-related issues
- Represent borrowers and lenders in real estate financing transactions
- Assist with development projects and joint venture transactions
- Coordinate transaction closings and work directly with clients, opposing counsel, lenders, title companies, and other parties
- Manage significant portions of transactions with increasing independence
- Work directly with partners and clients on complex commercial real estate matters
Qualifications

- Law firm experience preferred
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills
- Ability to manage multiple transactions and take ownership of assignments

- Sophisticated commercial real estate transactions
- Direct partner and client exposure
- Greater transaction ownership
- National and institutional client bases
- Partnership-track opportunities
- Competitive compensation
- Hybrid flexibility
