• Handling sophisticated transactions involving CMBS financing, 1031 exchanges, mixed-use developments, acquisitions, and commercial property investments.
• Working closely with experienced practice leaders while developing your own client relationships and taking on greater responsibility.

What They're Looking For

• 3–15 years of experience practicing commercial real estate law.
• Experience handling commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, financing, and/or leasing.
• Strong drafting, negotiation, and transactional management skills.
• Ability to manage matters independently while maintaining strong client relationships.
