Gallagher LLP is seeking a real estate associate with 3-6 years of experience to join our Real Estate and Business Transactions group. The group advises developers, owners, and equity investors at every stage of the real estate life cycle, from land acquisition through development, financing, construction, leasing, and disposition. This is a client-facing role with the opportunity to work on a diverse range of complex, high-profile real estate matters.

The ideal candidate will have a background in commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, retail and office leasing, and debt and equity financing. They will have represented sellers, buyers, lenders, and/or borrowers on mixed-use, multi-family, affordable housing, shopping center, and office developments. Day-to-day work includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, consulting agreements, property management agreements, development agreements, easement agreements, and other real estate documents. Familiarity with the formation and operation of residential and commercial condominium regimes and homeowners’ associations is helpful, as is experience with, or a willingness to learn, low-income housing tax credits, historic tax credits, and new markets tax credits.

We do not expect to find someone with expertise in every area listed above, and we encourage candidates whose experience covers a meaningful portion of this work to apply.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to practice in Maryland (or eligibility for admission)
• 3-6 years of experience in commercial real estate transactions
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
• Ability to collaborate with colleagues and build strong client relationships

Our current hybrid work policy for attorneys is three days per week in the office.

For over 65 years, Gallagher has been a trusted partner for businesses and non-profits across the mid-Atlantic region and nationwide, representing top universities, hospitals, financial institutions, real estate developers, and more. We recruit with the hope and expectation that our people will build their careers here: more than half of our attorneys joined the firm as law clerks or new lawyers, and most of our staff has been with us for more than a decade. That stability strengthens our culture and the quality and continuity of the service we provide to our clients.
