Real Estate Associate (4+yrs)

Permanent Placements is partnering with a nationally recognized Am Law 200 firm to identify a Real Estate Associate Attorney for its highly regarded Phoenix or Tucson office. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a Chambers-ranked real estate practice handling sophisticated, high-level commercial real estate transactions within a collaborative national platform.

This group represents an impressive client base that includes REITs, institutional investors, private equity funds, developers, lenders, renewable energy companies, healthcare systems, and emerging businesses across a wide range of asset classes. Attorneys here work on meaningful, high-impact transactions with direct exposure to complex deal work and strong mentorship from respected practitioners in the space.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Chambers-ranked real estate platform with sophisticated national deal flow

• Strong reputation for mentorship, collaboration, and associate development

• Exposure to acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing, and financing transactions

• Hybrid flexibility with no rigid firmwide mandate

• Formal mentorship and structured professional development programs

• Quarterly feedback process tailored to associate growth

• 1850 billable target with uncapped, tiered bonus structure

• Relocation assistance and sign-on bonus available

• Long-term growth opportunity within a nationally respected platform

Key Responsibilities:

• Draft and negotiate commercial real estate transaction documents

• Handle acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and development matters

• Manage due diligence, including title and survey review

• Coordinate and assist with closings

• Work directly with sophisticated institutional and developer clients

• Collaborate across offices within an integrated national real estate team

Qualifications:

• 4 years of commercial real estate transactional experience

• Strong drafting and deal management skills

• Experience with acquisitions, leasing, financing, and development transactions

• Prior law firm experience required

• Excellent academic credentials

• Arizona bar admission preferred or ability to waive in

This is a strong fit for an associate looking to step into a sophisticated platform with meaningful work, strong internal support, and real long-term trajectory within a nationally respected real estate practice.
