Job Description

New commercial leasing associate opportunity with a real estate boutique (Manhattan)

We are working with several of the named partners of a boutique firm in Manhattan. They are looking to add a mid- to senior-level associate with significant commercial leasing experience.

• They are currently 8 attorneys, across transactional and litigation matters.
• The partners have varied backgrounds, including stints as associates in multiple AmLaw 100 firms.
• They represent individuals, businesses, condos, coops, and banks in all aspects of the acquisition, sale, leasing and financing of commercial, and residential properties.
• The leasing work is broad, covering office, industrial and retail properties throughout the greater New York City area.
• Midtown Manhattan office; 3 days per week in the office.
• The firm has a 1650 billable hours requirement to be in good standing.
• Base salary is expected to be in the $210k - $250k range but it all depends on seniority and experience. There will be a year-end bonus as well and the firm also offers 15% origination credit even for associates who bring in clients. That's 15% of all collections—on your billings and everyone else's billings for that client.
• It is not an up-or-out structure like many larger firms.

As part of a small team, you may be asked to help out on some broader real estate transactions. However, the focus of this role is commercial leasing, which plays a significant part in driving the firm’s revenue.

Candidates must have a U.S. JD, U.S. work authorization and the NY bar, and either :

• 3-5 years of law firm experience with a sophisticated real estate group, with a heavy focus on commercial leasing (NYC office leasing in particular), OR
• 6-8 years of experience with a real estate group including the equivalent of 3+ years' leasing experience.

If you meet the above criteria, are passionate about your work and wish to join a firm that is in growth mode, please send along your resume!
