• Work on transactions involving a variety of asset classes, including apartment, office, shopping center, retail, flex, medical office, and mixed-use properties.
• Collaborate with attorneys across the firm’s business, land use, financing, and litigation practices to provide integrated client service.
• Communicate directly and professionally with clients, opposing counsel, and other transaction participants.
• Take increasing ownership of matters while working in a collegial, team-oriented environment.

Required Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Large law firm, boutique commercial real estate, developer-side, lender-side, or sophisticated in-house real estate experience.
