About the role

Real Estate Associate Or Counsel
Salary range: $175K - $250KLocation: Roseland, NJ, Woodbridge, NJVisa Sponsorship Details: Not open to any visas (e.g. US citizen, Green Card holders) Hybrid work policy: 3–4 days in-office in Roseland, NJ (preferred) or Woodbridge, NJ. Senior hires get more flexibility.
About this role: We are looking for a Real Estate Associate or Counsel with 3–15 years of experience to join a Chambers Band 1 New Jersey real estate practice and take files off the plate of the practice leaders. You'll work on sophisticated commercial real estate transactions - acquisitions, financings, leasing, and development deals - for entrepreneurial NJ developers, property owners, and investors, all at a firm with 1,800-hour expectations and a genuine partner track. What will you be doing? Drafting and negotiating PSAs, leases, and loan documents, and managing closings with minimal hand-holding Interfacing directly with entrepreneurial clients - bringing solutions, not just flagging issues Handling title and survey review on complex commercial deals Supporting land use and redevelopment matters including zoning approvals, redevelopment agreements, and PILOTsWorking alongside practice leaders on marquee deals (CMBS loans, 1031 exchanges, mixed-use redevelopments) with real ownership from day one
Key Requirements:
  • 3+ years of recent, continuous commercial real estate transactional experience at a law firm - not someone who "dabbled" and wants to come back
  • Able to take a file and run it with partner oversight, not step-by-step supervision - the role is to save partners time, not create double work
  • Stable tenure history - job hopping (e.g., 3 moves in 5 years) is the #1 disqualifier
  • Strong written work product and attention to detail - your resume is your first writing sample
  • Business-minded and client-facing demeanor - deal makers, not deal killers
