Commercial Real Estate Attorney | Raleigh, NC | $150,000 to $260,000 Every deal you close carries a quiet promise that nothing will go wrong. At this Raleigh firm, the team that steps in when something does go wrong has been ranked Best Lawyers National Tier 1 for real estate litigation four years running.
I'm Clark Pollins at Distinct Recruitment. I'm hiring on behalf of a Raleigh law firm that wants an experienced commercial real estate attorney to build a practice, not just a billable total.
Four things worth knowing Your clients have a safety net most can only hope for. When a transaction turns into a dispute, you hand it to a nationally ranked litigation team down the hall. The client relationship stays yours. The billable target is 1,800 to 1,900 hours. That leaves real time for lunches, site visits and the calls that turn one deal into a client for life. Building a book is part of the job description. The firm expects you to grow your own practice and supports you while you do it. Hybrid is how the team works. You agree your split together, from your first week.
The work Acquisitions and dispositions, with purchase and sale agreements that leave your client knowing exactly what they bought. Financing, from the first draft to the closing set. Development agreements, where approvals and obligations have to hold for years. Commercial leasing for landlords and tenants. Drafting and reviewing disclosure agreements. Running the timeline. The checklist, and opposing counsel, work to your schedule.
Two levels, one range Nearer $150,000: you already run transactions on your own, and you want that independence to lead to clients with your name on them. Nearer $260,000: you bring established relationships or portable work, ready to grow on a stronger platform. The deals you run and the clients you bring decide where you land.
What you bring Around 3 years or more on complex commercial real estate transactions. Admission to the North Carolina Bar, or eligibility. Comfort owning a deal from term sheet to signature. Appetite to build a practice. Existing relationships help, but hunger matters just as much.
