We’re partnering with a leading AmLaw firm with a dominant presence in the Miami real estate market to identify a Legal Assistant supporting a high-performing Commercial Real Estate team.

This is an opportunity to join a group that is consistently involved in complex, high-value real estate transactions across South Florida and beyond — working alongside attorneys who are deeply embedded in the market’s most active deals.

You’ll act as a true right-hand to attorneys, supporting active transactions from initial documentation through closing. This role sits at the center of deal flow — coordinating across clients, lenders, title companies, and internal stakeholders to keep matters moving efficiently.

This is not a passive support role — it’s for someone who takes ownership, stays ahead of attorneys, and thrives in a fast-paced transactional environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

Managing attorney calendars, meetings, and travel in a high-volume environment

Drafting, formatting, and proofreading real estate and transactional documents

Preparing and coordinating closing binders and document distribution

Communicating with clients, lenders, title companies, and third parties throughout the deal lifecycle

Maintaining organized electronic and physical filing systems

Supporting billing, time entry, and expense processing

Handling filings with state and local agencies (Clerk of Court, Secretary of State)

Acting as a central point of coordination across multiple active matters

What They’re Looking For

5+ years of Commercial Real Estate Legal Assistant experience

Background supporting active deal teams in a law firm environment (Big Law preferred)

Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple attorneys and priorities simultaneously

High attention to detail and ability to produce polished, accurate work product under pressure
