• Surgical Due Diligence: Manage transaction risk by conducting due diligence, inspecting ALTA/NSPS land surveys, title commitments, Phase I/Phase II environmental site assessments, and zoning reports to resolve title defects, easements, and boundary overlaps.
• Debt & Finance Coordination: Advise on property financing, CMBS loan requirements, mezzanine debt structures, and loan commitments; review and abstract lender loan and debt structures.
• Closing & Escrow Guidance: Direct the final closing stages, coordinating settlement, escrow funding disbursements, and overseeing the successful recording of deeds.

• Active Bar Admission in good standing in any of these states: NY, NJ, PA, MA, CT, VA, NC, SC, GA and FL.
• 3 to 8 years of dedicated experience strictly in commercial real estate transactional law (with AmLaw, mid-sized firm, or high-growth corporate in-house experience preferred).
• Extensive experience with commercial acquisitions, leasing, and representing either sophisticated commercial borrowers or institutional lenders.
• High technical aptitude and comfort working with legal software, automated platforms, and AI-driven document review tools.
• Exceptional negotiation, risk-assessment, and communication skills.

Requirements

• Please note: Residential-only real estate experience will not be considered for this role.
• You must be able to guide first-time investors by explaining complex property laws in clear, jargon-free English.

• Classification: Independent Contractor (1099)
• Compensation: $180.00 - $200.00 per hour (billed hourly or structured on a per-project equivalent basis, depending on transaction volume).
