Real Estate Associate (2-6 Years) - Washington, DC
About the Opportunity
A
global Am Law firm
is seeking a 2-6 year Real Estate Associate to join its Washington, DC office. This opportunity offers exposure to elite, headline-level development work - including large-scale urban redevelopments and billion-dollar mixed-use projects - within a truly international platform. Associates will gain meaningful responsibility on sophisticated transactions while benefiting from a collaborative and globally integrated team.
The Practice
The DC real estate team advises developers, institutional investors, lenders, and corporate clients on complex commercial real estate matters across asset classes.
Core areas include:
Large-scale development and redevelopment projects Mixed-use, hospitality, office, and multifamily transactions Acquisitions and dispositions Joint ventures and equity structuring Real estate finance (borrower and lender side) Leasing and asset-level operational matters
The team regularly collaborates across offices and practice groups, particularly in financial institutions, life sciences, energy, infrastructure, and technology sectors - reflecting the firm’s strong DC hub and sector integration.
Global Platform
The firm operates on a global scale with thousands of lawyers across 30+ international offices, offering substantial cross-border capability and deal exposure.
Associates benefit from:
International secondment opportunities Client secondments with multinational companies Cross-border transactions and multi-jurisdictional coordination Integrated global staffing across offices
Responsibilities
Draft and negotiate transactional documents across acquisitions, financings, and development matters Support joint venture structuring and complex deal execution Manage due diligence, including title and survey review Coordinate closings and transaction timelines Work directly with partners and clients on high-value matters
Qualifications
2-6 years of commercial real estate transactional experience Experience in acquisitions, development, joint ventures, and/or real estate finance Admission to the DC Bar (or ability to obtain promptly) Strong drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills Ability to manage multiple matters in a fast-paced environment Sound judgment and collaborative approach
Culture & Career Development
The firm’s culture is widely described as supportive, ambitious, and collaborative rather than “dog-eat-dog.” Associates are trusted with substantive responsibility while maintaining access to mentorship and long-term development support.
The platform combines high-caliber work with a sustainable pace and strong cross-office collaboration.
Why This Role Stands Out
Elite, market-shaping development exposure True global megafirm infrastructure Strong DC hub with sector-driven integration International and client secondment opportunities Sophisticated work paired with a collegial and supportive culture
