Real Estate Finance Associate Attorney

Location: Massachusetts

Salary: $220K – $390K

An elite national law practice is seeking a driven mid- to senior-level Associate to join its thriving Real Estate Finance team. This is an exceptional opportunity for an attorney who thrives on complex, high-value commercial real estate transactions and is ready to play a key role in a sophisticated lender-side practice.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll take ownership of large, structured finance matters from day one. Expect to work on:

  • Origination of senior and mezzanine loans, preferred equity, and other structured products
  • Drafting and negotiating primary loan documents
  • Managing transactions independently from inception through closing and post-closing
  • Advising on asset management, workouts, and lender exit strategies, including repurchase facilities and secondary market transactions

You’ll be trusted as a central deal team member, collaborating closely with partners and clients while navigating complex subject matter in a fast-moving environment.

The Ideal Candidate Brings

  • 4+ years of broad experience in real estate finance
  • Strong academic credentials and polished research, writing, and communication skills
  • A track record of handling sophisticated lender-side transactions
  • The confidence to run deals and the judgment to anticipate issues before they arise
  • A collaborative mindset and the ambition to help build a nationally recognized practice

Must hold a JD and be admitted to practice in the jurisdiction where you intend to sit.

Why This Role Stands Out

Join a highly collegial, high-performing team known for its supportive culture, complex deal flow, and commitment to attorney growth. You’ll be exposed to challenging matters, direct client interaction, and meaningful career progression, all within an environment that values excellence and initiative. Compensation is highly competitive and aligned with top-tier firms, including a robust benefits package and performance-based bonus potential.
