About this Role
We are looking for a Senior Real Estate Transactional Attorney with 7-10+ years of experience to lead sophisticated joint venture, acquisition, development, and financing transactions at a respected mid-size California firm. This is an opportunity for a high-performing attorney who feels stagnant at a big firm and is ready for real deal ownership, direct client access, and a clear path toward partnership, without the 2,000+ hour grind.
What you need
- 7-10+ years of transactional real estate experience at an AmLaw 200 firm or well-regarded California RE boutique (no solo practitioners or very small firms)
- Active California State Bar license (non-negotiable)
- Demonstrated experience leading or co-leading complex RE deals with direct client contact and counterparty negotiation
- Experience drafting and negotiating joint venture and operating agreements
- Bay Area-based with ability to be in the SF Financial District office on Wednesdays (required) plus flexible additional days
What will you be doing?
Leading drafting and negotiation of complex joint venture and operating agreements, the firm's primary growth area over the next 6-12 months
Running real estate transactions end-to-end (acquisitions, development, financing) with direct client and counterparty engagement
Taking ownership of deals rather than supporting senior attorneys on discrete pieces
Meeting one-on-one with partners to develop your business development plan and align with the firm's practice
Working on sophisticated deals that compete with BigLaw in complexity, but at 1,600 billable hours annually
