Senior Commercial Real Estate Paralegal

About the Role

• Prepare closing documents, manage checklists, and coordinate funds flow for commercial acquisitions, sales, leasing, and financing transactions.

• 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.

What We're Looking For

• 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.
