Job Description
If you’re a Real Estate attorney looking for the rare mix of elite deal work and a culture you actually enjoy being part of, this one’s worth your attention.
Lateral Link is working with a prestigious Chicago law firm on an unposted search for a Real Estate Associate to join its nationally recognized practice. This team is Chambers-ranked and known for sophisticated transactions, hands-on mentorship from some of the best in the field, and genuine respect for work-life balance.
Why this role stands out:
- Direct client exposure and meaningful responsibility early on
- Deep, collaborative deal team (no silos here)
- Top of the market compensation and comprehensive benefits
- Hybrid flexibility and a culture that values people as much as performance
Who you are:
- You have 2–8 years of experience handling complex commercial real estate transactions (acquisitions, dispositions, and financings) at an AmLaw 200 or strong boutique/mid-size firm.
- You have Illinois bar admission (or eligibility to waive in).
- Those who have more than 8 years of experience who can independently manage deals are also encouraged to apply.
(Litigators and recent grads, this one isn’t for you - sorry!)
