  • Support all phases of leasing and acquisition transactions, including negotiation support and document coordination

  • Assist with retail redevelopment matters, including review of property approvals, restrictions, and deal-specific constraints

  • Coordinate deal deadlines and communicate effectively with attorneys, clients, and internal team members

  • Support active transactions in a second-chair role, working closely with senior attorneys on execution and closing

  • Assist with additional commercial real estate matters and special projects as needed

Qualifications

  • 3-6 years of commercial real estate transactional experience at a law firm

  • Strong experience with:

  • Commercial leasing transactions

  • Experience preparing or reviewing title summaries and resolving title issues strongly preferred

  • Retail real estate, restaurant, or outparcel transaction experience is a plus

  • Strong drafting, analytical, and organizational skills

  • Ability to manage multiple active matters and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

  • Comfortable working independently in a fully remote, 30+ hour/week structure

  • Ability to function effectively in a second-chair/support role on transactions

Work Environment/Schedule

  • Fully remote position

  • Minimum 30+ hours per week required

  • Some schedule flexibility available, with required availability during core business hours for team collaboration, client coordination, and deal activity

  • Limited concurrent work may be permitted, provided it does not interfere with workload, deadlines, or firm responsibilities

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance available while on assignment

  • Opportunity to work on sophisticated commercial real estate transactions

  • Flexible remote work environment

  • Exposure to high-quality deal work alongside experienced transactional attorneys

If you're looking for a high-quality transactional role with strong deal exposure, autonomy, and a remote structure that still keeps you in sophisticated commercial real estate work, we'd love to connect with you.
