Miami real estate isn't what it was five years ago, and neither is the work.
The institutional capital pouring into South Florida has fundamentally changed the complexity of what gets done here. Foreign investors structuring JVs for mixed-use developments. Logistics platforms assembling warehouse portfolios across Dade and Broward counties. Hospitality groups repositioning assets in a market where land basis has tripled. This isn't a market doing simple condo closings anymore — it's doing New York-caliber deals in a city where half the firms are still staffed for the old Miami.
And that's where you're stuck. You're a mid-level associate at a firm that built its real estate practice around a different era. You're good enough to handle the complexity, but your firm doesn't have the client base or the deal flow to keep you in sophisticated work consistently. One month you're structuring a JV with an institutional sponsor. The next month you're back to reviewing a standard commercial lease because that's what came in the door. Your deal sheet is a patchwork instead of a trajectory.
A globally recognized law firm with a deep, established Miami office is looking for a mid-level real estate associate who wants to work on institutional-quality transactions consistently, not sporadically.
The work includes:
- Acquisitions and dispositions of commercial properties across asset classes
- Joint venture structuring with institutional and private sponsors
- Commercial leasing for office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use projects
- Real estate financings and capital markets transactions
What you bring:
- 3-6 years of transactional real estate experience at a major law firm
- Exposure to acquisitions, JVs, leasing, or finance — ideally more than one
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills
- Florida bar admission (or willingness to obtain)
What you get:
- Consistent institutional-quality deal flow in the fastest-growing RE market in the country
- A platform with national and international clients, not just a regional book
- Cravath scale salary + bonus
