Mid-Level Real Estate Lending Associate
An elite national law firm is seeking a talented mid-level associate to join its sophisticated Real Estate Finance group in either New York or Charlotte. This is a standout opportunity for an attorney who thrives in a high-performing, collaborative environment and wants direct exposure to major financial institutions and complex real estate transactions across the country.
The Role
In this position, you will take on a central role representing leading lenders in real estate and asset-based loan originations. You’ll handle transactions involving commercial properties, development projects, and diverse collateral structures. Attorneys who also have experience advising developers on acquisitions, sales, and financings will find that background highly valued.
What You’ll Work On
-
Structuring, negotiating, and documenting real estate and asset-based lending transactions
-
Managing loan originations from term sheet through closing
-
Advising on collateral packages and multi-property financings
-
Collaborating closely with partners and clients, with meaningful opportunities for hands-on responsibility
-
Supporting a broad mix of deal types across national and regional markets
What We’re Looking For
-
4–6 years of real estate finance experience, with a strong focus on representing lenders
-
Solid background in loan origination work
-
Additional experience with developer-side real estate transactions is a plus
-
Strong academic credentials and polished communication skills
-
Ability to manage competing deadlines while maintaining exceptional attention to detail
-
Admission to the NY or NC Bar (or eligibility to waive into NC)
Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll be joining a highly respected, full-service platform where associates receive substantive work, direct partner engagement, and exposure to sophisticated matters from day one. The firm offers competitive compensation, robust benefits, and a supportive culture that values growth, performance, and professional development.
To be considered, please contact Freddie at freddie@thepeopleof.co.uk with your resume, cover letter, and law school transcript, deal sheet/representative matters.
