Job Description

Our client, a top real estate investment firm in South Florida with tens of billions of AUM, wishes to hire a lawyer with at least two years' experience (JD 2023 or senior) handling debt finance transactions in the real estate sector. This is a newly-created role driven by expansion; we placed the lawyer who heads the firm's debt finance team; now, having settled in, she is looking to further scale her team. They are willing to relocate a strong candidate who is otherwise a good fit for the role.

Responsibilities:

• Regularly interface with the business' real estate debt team, working to make sure processes run smoothly.
• Deal flow will be steady, with at least 80% of transactions staffed internally rather than being delegated to outside counsel.
• You will join a highly collaborative legal team with an amazing culture and extremely low attrition. The role is wholly in-office (save for a remote month every summer).
• Our client will cover relocation costs for this position.
• The workload is akin to being a partner-track associate at an AmLaw-ranked firm, with total annual compensation that will rival or exceed market-leading firms.
• An associate leaving BigLaw willing to accept a pay cut as tradeoff for work-life balance would not be a good fit for this opportunity; rather, this is a chance to do sophisticated, interesting deals supporting a single client alongside a great team and under the supervision of a mentor who is an excellent lawyer and good person.

Required Qualifications:

• Juris Doctor from an accredited law school;
• Admitted and in good standing to a state bar;
• At least two years’ relevant experience at a top law firm or in-house (some experience at an AmLaw-ranked firm a must);
• Deep working knowledge of real estate finance law (with exposure to debt finance deals strongly preferred);
• Experience supporting commercial real estate finance transactions;
• Familiarity with direct lenders-side loan originations and secondary transactions strongly preferred;
• Exposure to real estate workouts, securitization deals, or lenders-side leveraged finance deals involving commercial real estate strongly preferred;
• Experience drafting and negotiating term sheets, finance paperwork, and facilities;
• Strong business judgment and interpersonal skills;
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines;
• Comfort working with cross-functional teams;
• Excellent written and verbal communication, negotiation, and presentation skills; and
• Strong attention to detail.

If you meet the required qualifications and are interested in this role, please apply today.
