Associate Attorney - Transactional / Real Estate

Associate Attorney - Transactional / Real Estate 

I'm partnering with a highly respected Pacific Northwest law firm to identify a mid-level Real Estate Finance Associate to join its nationally recognized lending and real estate practice.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an attorney who enjoys sophisticated transactional work, values direct client interaction, and wants to build a long-term practice representing commercial lenders on complex financing transactions.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This collaborative team advises commercial lenders on a wide variety of loan transactions with a particular focus on:

• Real estate-secured lending
• Construction financing
• Commercial loan documentation
• Complex closing transactions
• Title and collateral matters

Unlike many larger platforms, associates are given meaningful client contact and the opportunity to develop client management responsibilities early in their careers.

The practice offers a steady flow of sophisticated work, an exceptional team culture, and a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in the legal market today.

What You'll Do

• Structure, draft, and negotiate commercial loan documents
• Advise lenders on real estate-secured financing transactions
• Manage transactions from origination through closing
• Review and analyze title insurance matters
• Coordinate with borrowers, title companies, and opposing counsel
• Build trusted relationships with institutional lending clients
• Collaborate closely with experienced partners and attorneys on complex transactions

What We're Looking For

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• 4+ years of transactional real estate finance experience
• Experience representing lenders in commercial financing transactions
• Strong drafting, negotiation, and closing skills
• Understanding of title insurance and real estate collateral issues
• Experience with West Coast transactions is a plus
• Excellent attention to detail and client-service mindset

Benefits

• Medical, dental and prescription coverage. The firm fully-subsidizes employees' coverage premiums.
• Medical expense reimbursement program for medical expenses not covered by health insurance
• Life and disability insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• 401(k) profit sharing program
• Commuter expense assistance for mass transit and parking
• Paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays. We offer a starting vacation accrual of 6.25 hours per month and grant up to 75 hours of paid sick leave per year. We also offer 10 paid holidays and one floating holiday per year.
• Hybrid work for eligible positions.
• Paid parental leave
• Sabbatical program after 10 years of continuous employment for staff professionals working at least 50% FTE
• Mobile phone and cellular service for management roles in overtime exempt job classifications
