Our client, a top real estate investment firm in Southern Florida, wishes to hire a lawyer with at least nine years' experience handling debt finance transactions in the real estate sector. This is a newly-created role driven by expansion, not backfilling.
The successful candidate will regularly interface with the leaders of the group's debt team and also enjoy significant face time with the C-suite, working to make sure the process runs smoothly at a senior level. You will join a highly collaborative legal team with an amazing culture and extremely low attrition. The role is wholly in-office (save for a remote month every summer). Our client will cover relocation costs for this position.
Required Qualifications:
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school;
- admitted and in good standing to a state bar;
- at least nine years’ relevant experience at a top law firm or in-house (some experience at an AmLaw-ranked firm a must);
- deep working knowledge of debt finance law;
- strong working understanding of real estate finance transactions;
- experience drafting and negotiating term sheets, finance paperwork, and facilities;
- strong business judgment and interpersonal skills;
- ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines;
- comfort working with cross-functional teams
- excellent written and verbal communication, negotiation, and presentation skills; and
- strong attention to detail.
