A bit about us:

Boston, Massachusetts | Full-Time | 2–6 Years

A highly regarded Boston-based business law firm is seeking a Real Estate & Land Use Associate with approximately 2–6 years of experience to join its established real estate practice.

The firm is an approximately 40-attorney, full-service Boston law firm with roots dating back more than 45 years. Originally founded as a real-estate boutique, the firm has grown into a sophisticated business-law platform while maintaining deep strength in commercial real estate, development, land use and real-estate litigation.

The real estate team represents commercial and residential developers, property owners, investors, managers, businesses and commercial tenants across the full life cycle of a real-estate matter — from permitting and development through acquisition, financing, leasing, conveyance and dispute resolution.

Why join us?

Why Join

The firm combines sophisticated, high-level work with the advantages of a smaller platform: direct partner mentorship, early client interaction, meaningful responsibility and a culture designed to develop associates into independent practitioners. Associates are encouraged to build their own practices and are provided with the mentorship, resources and opportunities necessary to progress toward shareholder-level responsibility.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney looking to build a broad, long-term commercial real estate practice within a collaborative Boston firm known for both its real estate roots and sophisticated business-law platform.

Zoning and land-use analysis

The firm’s land-use attorneys have extensive experience representing developers, property owners and other clients before municipal, state and federal authorities and have been involved in precedent-setting Massachusetts real-estate and zoning matters.

Qualifications

J.D. from an accredited law school

Admission to the Massachusetts Bar

Approximately 2–6 years of relevant real estate experience

Experience in commercial real estate transactions, development, zoning, land use, permitting or a combination thereof

Strong drafting, research and analytical skills
