Remote Contract Negotiator Jobs in Boca Raton, FL

Position: Contract Attorney – Real Estate Transactions

Reports To: Owner & Managing Attorney

Employment Classification: Contract / Independent Contractor, Remote

Do complex real estate issues become simpler when you’re on the file? Do you produce clean work product, spot problems before they become obstacles, and execute with minimal supervision?

We are seeking a Contract Attorney to join our team and provide support on transactional matters, legal research, commercial leasing, residential transactions, and general real estate matters. This is not a role for someone looking for constant supervision or a training environment. We are looking for an attorney who can step in, understand the assignment, execute efficiently, and produce reliable work product.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Flexible remote contract work structure.

• A firm that invests in modern technology, AI-assisted workflows, and smart operations.

• The opportunity to develop an ongoing working relationship as the firm continues to grow.

WORKLOAD & COMPENSATION

• Estimated workload: approximately 10-20 hours per week initially, with opportunity for growth based on firm needs and candidate availability.

• Compensation: hourly contract rate commensurate with experience and demonstrated capability.

$100 - $150 hourly

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will support transactional matters by handling substantive legal work, drafting, and matter management responsibilities, including:

Legal Research & Analysis

• Conduct legal research and prepare concise, practical memoranda regarding real estate and related legal issues.

• Research and analyze commercial and residential real estate matters, contract interpretation issues, title questions, and transactional risks.

Commercial Leasing

• Draft, review, revise, and negotiate commercial lease agreements and related lease documents.

• Prepare amendments, estoppels, assignments, subleases, extensions, and ancillary lease documentation.

Residential Transactions & Matter Support

• Oversee residential real estate transactions from intake through closing.

• Review contracts, title commitments, surveys, closing documents, and transaction materials.

Client Matter Management

• Manage and track assigned matters to ensure deadlines, deliverables, and communications remain organized and current.

• Coordinate with clients, title companies, lenders, brokers, and opposing counsel as appropriate.

Contract Drafting & Firm Support

• Draft, review, and revise agreements and related transactional documents.

• Assist with the development and refinement of templates, forms, systems, and internal processes.

WHO YOU ARE

The statements below describe the attorney we’re looking for:

• You draft clean, organized work product that requires minimal revision before client delivery.

• You are highly detail-oriented and catch issues before they become problems.

• You can manage multiple assignments simultaneously without missing deadlines or needing repeated follow-up.

• You are comfortable with legal research and can distinguish between academic analysis and practical guidance.

• You are technologically competent and comfortable using document management systems, AI-assisted workflows, and modern legal technology tools.

• You work independently and arrive with solutions, not just questions.

• Require extensive supervision to complete assignments.

• Are primarily litigation-trained and looking to pivot.

• Struggle with organization or deadline management.

• Prefer highly structured environments with multiple levels of review.

• Are uncomfortable with technology or process-driven workflows.
