Commercial Real Estate Transactional Attorney
Location: Denver, CO Experience: 3–8 Years (Associate Track) or 8+ Years (Partner/Book of Business) Firms: Multiple Opportunities — Boutique, Regional, and AM Law Status: Actively Hiring
About the Opportunities
We are partnering with several respected Denver-area law firms — including boutique practices and nationally recognized AM Law platforms — to recruit Commercial Real Estate Transactional Attorneys at both the associate and senior/partner levels.
These firms offer different cultures, team structures, and strategic focuses, but all share the same commitment: high-quality work, strong mentorship, and long-term growth opportunities.
If you’re exploring the market confidentially, these roles provide excellent pathways for attorneys at varying stages of their real estate careers.
What You’ll Do
Depending on the firm and level of experience, responsibilities may include:
Handling sophisticated commercial real estate transactions, including:
acquisitions & dispositions
development projects
commercial and retail leasing
complex financing and joint ventures
Drafting and negotiating real estate contracts and related transactional documents
Leading due diligence, title, and survey review
Working directly with developers, investors, lenders, and corporate clients
Growing and managing client relationships
For senior-level candidates:
Leveraging or expanding a portable book of business
Leading deal teams
Supporting the real estate group’s strategic growth
Qualifications
Associate-Level (3–8 Years):
3–8 years of commercial real estate transactional experience
Strong drafting, negotiation, and project-management skills
Experience with acquisitions, development, leasing, and/or financing
Desire for mentorship, stability, and a clear path to partnership
Partner-Level (8+ Years):
8+ years of CRE transactional experience
Partial or full book of business preferred
Ability to lead client matters, mentor junior attorneys, and contribute to firm growth
Why These Roles Stand Out
Diverse Firm Options: Boutique + mid-size + AM Law opportunities
Meaningful Advancement: Clear, structured path to Partner
High-Caliber Work: Sophisticated real estate matters throughout Colorado and the Front Range
Top-Tier Platforms: Respected firms with strong reputations and deep regional roots
Confidential Exploration: Candidates can learn about multiple opportunities through one conversation

If you’re quietly exploring the Denver market or considering a transition to a stronger platform, we can walk you through the best options — fully confidentially.
