  • Partner cross-functionally to identify risk, ensure compliance, and optimize deal outcomes
  • Remain current on legal, regulatory, and industry developments within commercial real estate

What You Bring :

  • J.D. from an accredited law school; licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. state with eligibility to waive into Illinois
  • 5+ years of commercial real estate transactional experience within a real-estate investment firm, private equity environment, or law firm
  • Proven ability to independently structure, negotiate, and close acquisitions, dispositions, and financings
  • Strong title / survey review experience and familiarity with ALTA requirements
  • Excellent negotiation, drafting, and communication skills with sound business judgment
  • Experience with joint ventures, entity formation, or real-estate funds is a plus
  • Organized, responsive, and effective at managing multiple concurrent deals in a fast-paced setting
  • Perks & Benefits :

  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience ($215,000 / Annual)
  • Hybrid schedule based in Chicago
  • High-impact exposure to senior leadership
  • Long-term growth within a rapidly expanding national platform
  • About the Organization :

    A fast-growing, vertically integrated real estate investment firm managing a multistate portfolio of commercial and residential properties.
