• Coordinate due diligence, entity documents, and estoppels across multiple active deals.
• Manage post-closing recordings, filings, and follow-up items.
• Work directly with clients, opposing counsel, and title companies with minimal partner oversight.

• Five or more years of recent, continuous experience as a commercial real estate paralegal at a law firm.
• Hands-on experience with title, surveys, and commercial closings, including independently managing a transaction through post-closing.
• Recent transactional real estate experience in New Jersey, with familiarity across real estate matters beyond residential closings.
• Land use experience is also relevant.
• Strong attention to detail, polished written work, and a stable employment history.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
