Real Estate Associate Attorney

Description:

A respected regional law firm with a strong presence across the Southeastern United States is seeking a Real Estate Associate Attorney with expertise in commercial real estate, particularly affordable housing and title/survey review. This role is primarily based in Jacksonville, FL, with potential consideration for candidates in Valdosta, GA, or Atlanta, GA. The position offers a supportive, collegial environment focused on collaboration and professional growth.

The attorney will work directly with lenders, investors, and developers to manage complex commercial and housing closing transactions. The role demands strong client communication skills, independent transaction management, and experience in resolving title and survey issues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage commercial and housing closing transactions from start to finish in collaboration with clients and internal teams.

• Review and resolve title and survey matters efficiently.

• Engage in affordable housing projects, applying specialized knowledge in this niche.

Requirements:

• Minimum 3 years of experience in commercial real estate law with a focus on title and survey review.

• Admission to the Georgia or Florida Bar.

• Strong client communication and independent transaction management skills.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Starting salary of $120,000+ annually, based on experience.

• Low billable hour expectation (1,750 hours/year), promoting work-life balance.

• Excellent mentorship and training from experienced partners.

• Mostly in-office, collegial environment with meaningful client interaction.
