  • Proven ability to independently manage sophisticated real estate transactions from inception through closing
  • Strong drafting and contract negotiation skills
  • Excellent legal research, analytical and written communication skills
  • Strong client relationship and communication skills
  • Experience advising sophisticated commercial real estate clients

Preferred Experience

The following would be advantageous:

  • Long term career development opportunities

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Sophisticated Commercial Real Estate Work - Handle high value transactions for sophisticated developers, investors, lenders, landlords and tenants.
