Job Description

The Real Estate Law Firm, LLC

Alogonquin, IL

 

Salary: $150,000-$200,000 + Benefits + Performance Bonuses

About Us:

The Real Estate Law Firm is one of Northern Illinois’ fastest-growing boutique real estate law firms. We represent buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, tenants, business owners, developers, and lenders in residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout Illinois.

Our practice focuses on delivering exceptional client service while handling sophisticated legal matters efficiently and professionally. We are expanding rapidly and are seeking an experienced attorney who wants to play a significant role in building a premier real estate law firm.

The Opportunity

This is not an entry-level associate position.

We are seeking an experienced Illinois attorney who can independently manage a substantial caseload with minimal supervision. The ideal candidate is capable of stepping into an established practice, advising clients confidently, negotiating directly with opposing counsel, drafting sophisticated legal documents, and handling transactions from start to finish.

The successful candidate will become one of the primary attorneys in our firm and will have significant responsibility from day one.

Practice Areas

The position primarily involves:

  • Residential real estate transactions.
  • Commercial real estate acquisitions and sales.
  • Attorney review and contract negotiations.
  • Commercial and residential leasing.
  • Landlord-tenant matters.
  • LLC formation and operating agreements.
  • Purchase and Sale Agreements.
  • Letters of Intent.
  • Easements.
  • Deeds and title matters.
  • Real estate dispute resolution.
  • Business purchase and sale transactions.

Experience with probate real estate, estate planning, or litigation is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

The attorney will:

  • Independently manage a large caseload.
  • Conduct attorney review and contract negotiations.
  • Draft sophisticated legal documents.
  • Advise buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and business owners.
  • Negotiate directly with attorneys, lenders, title companies, and real estate professionals.
  • Attend closings when necessary.
  • Review title commitments, surveys, and municipal compliance matters.
  • Handle complex legal issues with minimal oversight.
  • Mentor junior attorneys and staff as the firm continues to grow.
  • Build long-term client relationships.

Qualifications:

Required:

  • Active Illinois law license.
  • 7+ years of legal experience preferred.
  • Significant real estate transaction experience.
  • Exceptional drafting ability.
  • Excellent negotiation skills.
  • Strong client communication skills.
  • Ability to independently analyze and solve legal issues.
  • Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail.

Preferred:

  • Experience handling both residential and commercial transactions.
  • Business law experience.
  • Experience supervising staff or attorneys.
  • Existing referral relationships within the Illinois real estate community.

Compensation & Benefits:

  • $150,000-$200,000 annual salary.
  • Performance bonus opportunities.
  • Health insurance.
  • Paid time off.
  • Paid CLE.
  • Illinois ARDC registration reimbursement.
  • Professional development opportunities.
  • Modern technology and administrative support.
  • Opportunity for significant career advancement as the firm continues to grow.

Who We Are Looking For:

We are looking for an attorney who takes ownership of their work, communicates exceptionally well, and enjoys solving complex legal problems.

This position is ideal for someone who wants to practice at a high level without the bureaucracy of a large law firm, while still having the opportunity to help build something substantial.

If you are looking for a long-term opportunity where your work will have a meaningful impact on the growth of a rapidly expanding law firm, we would like to speak with you.
