Commercial Real Estate Attorney: Senior Associate or Lateral Partner

Transactional Commercial Real Estate Attorney: Senior Associate or Lateral Partner

Elevate Your Legal Career with Freeman Lovell

Freeman Lovell, a forward-thinking business and real estate law firm, is growing its Real

Estate Group and seeks an accomplished Transactional Commercial Real Estate Attorney

to join at either the Senior Associate or Lateral Partner level. No existing book of business

is required to apply: Senior Associates are developed and mentored from within, while

Lateral Partners who already carry a portable book simply join at a different level.

Freeman Lovell has a unique growth program that supports attorneys in building a

practice with real operational and financial flexibility and, eventually, freedom. Our fully

remote model redefines where work happens and how legal professionals build a career.

About Freeman Lovell

Founded in 2016 by Josh Freeman and Steve Lovell, Freeman Lovell distinguishes itself

through its commitment to autonomy, flexibility, and a collaborative culture. Our practice

spans business formation, small business investment, mergers and acquisitions, tax, real

estate, employment strategy, and dispute resolution. At Freeman Lovell, you're not just

joining a law firm. You're joining a team that values innovation, results, and the freedom to

work from anywhere.

You'll have the autonomy of a solo practice with the support and bench of an established

commercial law firm behind you. We don't believe in creating artificial ceilings on the

attorneys who work with us. However, you personally define professional success, we'll

support you in turning it into a reality. At Freeman Lovell, the attorney is the main

character, not the law firm. The law firm is the supporting cast, existing only to make you

shine.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced real estate attorney with a strong commercial

transactional background, including acquisitions and dispositions, commercial leasing,

financing and development transactions, and 1031 exchange and tenancy-in-common

(TIC) structuring, who also brings skill in entity formation, business/tax structuring, and

commercial contracts. This attorney should be growth-minded, with the drive to build (or

continue building) a robust practice supported by a team of attorneys and legal and

administrative professionals.

Depending on experience and portable book of business, this role can be structured as a

Senior Associate (mentored within the firm in building a practice that affords operational

and financial flexibility) or a Lateral Partner (leveraging Freeman Lovell's referral network

and resources to grow an existing practice).
