## What they're looking for

- You bring a J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. California bar admission is strongly preferred
- You have 6+ years of real estate transactional experience, built on a strong law firm foundation of complex, demanding deals. In-house experience at a company that owns or operates its footprint is a plus
- You have run leases and purchase and sale agreements from first draft through close with little oversight, and you know where the real risk sits in the document
- You have worked on development, construction, land use, or entitlements, or bring real estate experience in energy, EV charging, mining, or data centers. Depth in more than one is a strong plus
- You bring sharp judgment and a business-first mindset, translating complex legal issues into clear guidance for non-lawyers and knowing when a deal needs more eyes
- You thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and move quickly without losing rigor
