Commercial Real Estate Lending Attorney

A highly regarded boutique law firm specializing in complex commercial real estate transactions is seeking a Commercial Real Estate Lending Attorney to join its growing practice.

This firm represents private lenders and developers on sophisticated, high-value transactions across the United States, often working directly opposite top-tier law firms on deals exceeding $100M.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Run your own deals from start to finish
• Direct client interaction with private lenders and developers
• Work on complex, non-template transactions
• Collaborative environment with hands-on partners
• Opportunity to earn origination credit for business development
• Flexible structure: NYC hybrid

Key Responsibilities

• Independently manage commercial real estate lending transactions from inception to closing
• Draft and negotiate loan documents, including:
• Credit agreements
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients
• Provide practical, business-oriented legal advice on complex deal structures
• Collaborate closely with partners and internal teams

Qualifications

• 4–15 years of experience in commercial real estate finance (lender-side)
• Proven ability to run deals independently
• Strong experience drafting and negotiating loan documents
• Experience representing private (non-institutional) lenders preferred
• Background in a boutique or mid-sized law firm strongly preferred
• New York Bar admission (or eligibility to waive in) required
• JD from an accredited law school

Preferred Experience

• Direct client interaction and deal leadership
• Small portable book of business (a plus, not required)

Compensation

Comp ranges from $140K-$500K based on ability not years.
