\- Handle matters for lenders in multiple states, often involving specialized property types.

## Requirements

What we're looking for

\- At least 8 years of experience in real estate finance law.

\- Proven ability to carry a financing from start to finish without close oversight and to guide junior lawyers.

\- Track record drafting and negotiating sophisticated loan agreements.

\- Confidence negotiating opposite counsel from large national law firms.

\- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.

\- Admission to the New York Bar, or eligibility to waive in.

\- Willingness to share a summary list of past transactions.

\- An entrepreneurial, team-first attitude.
