COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING ATTORNEY

New York, NY | Hybrid -- 3 days in-office (Midtown) or Fully Remote for Senior Attorneys (NY Bar Required)

-----------------------------------------------------------

COMPENSATION

Base: $140,000--$500,000

Bonus: Discretionary

Origination Credit: 25% on business generated

-----------------------------------------------------------

WHY THIS ROLE

A boutique CRE firm with a well-established lender-side practice and a compensation model that rewards deal-making ability, not class year. The base runs $140,000--$500,000 depending on your ability to independently run deals, plus a discretionary bonus and a 25% origination credit on business you generate -- upside that typically doesn't exist below the equity partnership level. Deal flow is concentrated in high-demand sectors: industrial complexes and data centers, two asset classes seeing outsized transaction volume. Deals are typically $100M+. This is a direct-client-contact role with real autonomy in a boutique environment -- not a seat on a large team where your role is narrowly defined.

-----------------------------------------------------------

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll run lender-side commercial real estate financing transactions from start to finish -- loan documentation, construction loans, mezzanine structures -- as the primary point of contact for private lender clients. You'll work directly with partners and a paralegal team on deal flow spanning the United States, with a focus on industrial complexes and data centers.
