What are the responsibilities and job description for the Real Estate Finance Associate position at Insite Legal?
Boston | Hybrid | USD $215,000 - $310,000 bonus
A busy national platform is hiring a Real Estate Finance Associate who wants real lender and borrower deal flow rather than the odd refinance once a quarter.
Overview
We are working with a well-regarded US law firm that is expanding its real estate finance group. They need a Real Estate Finance Associate who can run transactions from term sheet through closing, with early client contact and partners who involve associates in structuring. The seat is based in Boston, hybrid, and suits two or more years of commercial real estate finance experience with more ownership than a pure diligence role.
What you'll be doing
- Drafting and negotiating loan agreements, mortgages, guaranties and intercreditor documents for senior, mezzanine and construction loans
- Acting for lenders and borrowers across multifamily, industrial, office, hospitality and mixed-use financings
- Running title, survey, zoning and diligence workstreams and owning the closing checklist
- Supporting CMBS, balance-sheet and debt-fund originations, plus loan sales, participations and modifications
- Advising on workouts, forbearances and restructurings of distressed real estate debt where needed
- Mentoring juniors and being the day-to-day point of contact for clients and opposing counsel
What we're looking for
- JD from a US law school and active US Bar admission (or eligibility to waive into the office state)
- Two or more years of commercial real estate finance experience at a law firm, on the lender side, borrower side, or both
- Confidence drafting core loan documents and running closings with limited supervision
- Appetite for a hybrid seat in Boston and occasional travel for closings or client meetings
- Relocation support is available for the right person
What's on offer
- Indicative base salary of USD $215,000 - $310,000, depending on class year, plus market bonus
- Consistent deal flow in real estate finance with a clear route to progression
- Hybrid working and a collaborative culture inside a full-service national law firm
- Permanent, full-time hire
