Deal-Making Commercial Real Estate Attorney (5+ Years Experience)
Description
ABOUT US
Levacy Legal is a high-growth, modern Real Estate and Business Law Firm built on three non-negotiable pillars: Being Responsive, Deal-Friendly and Trustworthy. We represent investors, lenders, developers, and business owners. We do not want an attorney who kills deals over minor ego points; we need a pragmatic attorney who is strategic and finds creative ways to get the deal across the finish line while mitigating our client's risk. We operate with extreme urgency, including a strict 1-business-day response rule for all clients. DO NOT apply if you don’t want to check your emails after 5 pm. DO NOT apply if you can't handle a fast-paced work environment. PLEASE APPLY if you are a hungry, outside-the-box deal-maker who wants to close deals with a growing and exciting team.
THE ROLE
You will step in on Day 1 to take over the front-to-end execution of complex commercial real estate transactions. Your responsibilities include:
Running deals completely autonomously from negotiating the LOI and Contract to the closing table.
Structuring, negotiating and drafting Commercial Loan Documents, Purchase & Sale Agreements, Commercial Leases, Operating Agreements, JV Agreements, Demand Letters, etc.
Overseeing title matters, curing sophisticated title defects, and ensuring flawless closing execution.
Acting as a high-level strategic advisor to key real estate players (lenders, developers, investors, brokers, etc.)
Coordinate efficiently with title companies, lenders, brokers, opposing counsel, clients, and internal team members.
Keep deals moving with clear communication, practical drafting, and a strong command of transaction timelines.
THE STANDARDS
You have at least 5 years of heavy transactional real estate experience in Florida.
You respond to clients within 24 business hours.
You thrive on keeping all parties aligned and moving fast, and you’re not afraid to take control of the situation when needed.
You are a creative, outside-the-box thinker. When there’s roadblock, you find a legal, structured workaround to save the deal.
You are tech-savvy and completely comfortable operating in a virtual, cloud-first, paperless environment.
A book of business is preferred, but not strictly required if you have the operational capacity and experience to handle our current workload.
WHY JOIN US?
We are the law firm of the future. We are fully virtual, extremely efficient, we have the dream team, we lean into technology, we have a very positive firm culture, and we genuinely care about our employees.
Strong Compensation Package. We offer a competitive base salary to manage firm overflow, paired with an aggressive origination split for the deals you bring in.
Zero Bureaucracy. Unlike a traditional law firm, which is slow and full of office politics, there is no red tape here. We are very practical and forward-thinking. If you need a resource to close a deal, you get it. If you have a creative legal strategy to save a transaction, we execute it.
Exciting Deal Flow. You will be on the forefront of some of the most exciting deals shaping Tampa Bay.
HOW TO APPLY
Submit your resume and a brief introduction to [email protected], including why you’re interested in the position. Please also highlight a specific complex deal you recently closed and how you creatively navigated a roadblock to get it done.
