Associate Attorney – Real Estate Finance
Advert Code: MLFS 184

A nationally recognized real estate finance practice is seeking a mid-level associate (3–5 years’ experience) to join its expanding transactional team. This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys looking to work on sophisticated commercial real estate financing transactions while gaining hands-on responsibility within a collaborative and high-performing practice.

The role offers meaningful involvement in complex lending transactions and the opportunity to develop strong client relationships while working alongside experienced partners and deal teams.

The Opportunity

You will assist with a broad range of commercial real estate finance matters, advising lenders and other market participants on structured financing transactions secured by commercial real estate assets. Associates in this practice play a key role in managing deals from inception through closing while coordinating closely with clients, counterparties, and internal teams.

The group handles sophisticated transactions across a wide range of property types and capital structures, providing associates with deep exposure to the commercial real estate finance market.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with commercial real estate financing transactions involving secured lending structures

• Draft and negotiate loan agreements, security instruments, and collateral documentation

• Support complex lending and secured financing arrangements backed by commercial real estate assets

• Manage components of transactions from initial structuring through closing under partner supervision

• Conduct and coordinate financing and corporate due diligence, including title and survey review

• Review and analyze landlord-tenant arrangements and property-related documentation relevant to financing transactions

• Collaborate with internal deal teams, clients, and opposing counsel to ensure efficient deal execution

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3–5 years of experience in commercial real estate finance or real estate lending within a sophisticated law firm environment

• JD required and prior experience working in a law firm

• Strong experience drafting and negotiating financing documentation and secured lending agreements

• Familiarity with title review, survey analysis, and real estate financing due diligence

• Excellent drafting, analytical, and communication skills

• Strong academic credentials and the ability to manage complex transactions in a collaborative environment

• Active Georgia Bar membership or the ability to obtain admission

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to work on sophisticated commercial real estate finance transactions

• Hands-on responsibility managing deals with strong partner mentorship

• Exposure to a diverse range of real estate financing structures and asset classes

• A collaborative practice with clear opportunities for professional growth and advancement

This role is ideal for a motivated associate seeking to deepen their expertise in commercial real estate finance while building a long-term career within a highly respected transactional practice.
