Senior Associate Attorney — Commercial Real Estate Lending in Plantation, FL

Schedule: Full-time, in-office (Plantation).

Position Overview

A prestigious, fast-growing firm with more than 100 lawyers is hiring a commercial real estate lending attorney for its Plantation office. The practice is lender-side, representing banks, institutional and private lenders, and other financial institutions on commercial mortgage, construction, bridge, mezzanine, and syndicated loan transactions and other secured financings. The role runs transactions independently from inception to closing — structuring, documenting, and negotiating deals — including due diligence on title reports, surveys, leases, zoning, organizational documents, and collateral, with responsibility for supervising and training junior attorneys and contributing to business development.

Qualifications

J.D. and an active Florida Bar license in good standing.

Experience

7+ years of commercial real estate finance, secured lending, or structured finance experience, primarily lender-side and primarily in Florida — including sophisticated transactions such as syndicated facilities, intercreditor agreements, and mezzanine financings — with a demonstrated record of independently structuring, negotiating, and closing deals. A portable book of business is highly preferred but not required.

Ideal Candidate Profile

A senior lender-side CRE finance attorney who takes full charge of transactions from structuring through closing, whose recent practice is lending-dominant, and who wants to help grow a busy, expanding practice.
