WHAT WE OFFER

$35 - $40 hourly

WHAT YOU'LL DO

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

Corporate Client & Contract Support

• Draft purchase orders, contract riders, and vendor agreements.

• Prepare initial drafts of brokerage, license, and other property-related contracts for attorney review.

• Maintain organized contract versions, redlines, and summaries for internal and client reference.

Commercial Closings

• Assist with the full life cycle of commercial real estate transactions, including drafting and reviewing closing documents, coordinating title and closing processes, and preparing settlement statements.

• Communicate directly with brokers, lenders, and clients to ensure smooth and timely closings.

• Conduct final document reviews, ensure accuracy of closing packages, and manage post-closing tasks.

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.

WHO YOU ARE

The statements below describe the Real Estate Paralegal we're looking for:
