Commercial Real Estate Partner
National Practice | Leadership Opportunity
Our client, a premier boutique business law firm, is seeking an accomplished Commercial Real Estate Partner to join and help lead its national Commercial Real Estate practice. This is a rare opportunity for a senior-level attorney to step into a meaningful leadership role within a highly regarded real estate group that is experiencing long-term growth and an anticipated transition of significant client relationships.
The Role
The firm is looking for a seasoned commercial real estate attorney with 15+ years of experience representing sophisticated clients in complex real estate transactions, including:
-
Acquisitions and dispositions of commercial real estate
-
Real estate development and redevelopment projects
-
Commercial leasing (office, retail, industrial, mixed-use)
-
Real estate finance transactions representing both lenders and borrowers
-
Joint ventures, syndications, and structured real estate investments
The ideal candidate is business-minded, collaborative, and client-focused, with the confidence and interpersonal skills necessary to build, grow, and sustain long-term client relationships. A moderate book of business is preferred but not required, as the firm offers strong institutional support and meaningful opportunities for organic business development.
Practice & Clients
The firm’s highly successful Commercial Real Estate group represents a diverse and sophisticated client base, including:
-
Real estate investment trusts (REITs)
-
Developers and real estate syndicators
-
High-net-worth individuals and family offices
-
Brokerage firms and property management companies
-
Real estate-focused businesses and corporate clients nationwide
The practice serves clients throughout Illinois and across the United States, handling complex, high-value commercial real estate matters.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
-
Leadership role within a respected national real estate practice
-
Significant client transition opportunities as senior partners approach retirement
-
Strong platform for business development and practice growth
-
Collegial, entrepreneurial firm culture with long-term stability
-
Ideal opportunity for a partner seeking influence, autonomy, and succession opportunity
