About the company

Our client is a law firm.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Manage the paralegal workload on complex commercial property matters, taking each deal from kickoff through post-closing follow-through. Partner closely with senior attorneys and operate with a high degree of autonomy.

- Oversee post-closing recordings, filings and remaining action items.

- Serve as a day-to-day contact for clients, the other side's lawyers and title agents, with limited supervision.

Requirements

- Real estate understanding that extends past entry-level basics.

- Exposure to both land use and transactional matters.

- A steady track record of employment.

- Meticulous accuracy and well-crafted written materials.
