-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPENSATION
Base: $140,000--$500,000
-------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS ROLE
A ground-floor opportunity to help build and shape a boutique firm's borrower-side CRE practice -- not a lateral into an established group where your lane is already drawn. You'll represent private investors, developers, and REITs on acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, and related transactions with full deal ownership from inception to closing. The base salary ranges from $140,000--$500,000, with a flexible hybrid schedule and a fully remote option for senior attorneys. If you want real autonomy, sophisticated clients, and meaningful influence over the direction of a growing practice, this is a strong platform to build from.
-------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll represent private investors, developers, and REITs in acquisitions, dispositions, and purchase and sale transactions -- drafting and negotiating PSAs, joint venture agreements, and related documentation. The role is designed for someone who can manage multiple deals simultaneously at various stages and is comfortable serving as the primary client contact throughout.
