The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of lender-side financing matters from first engagement through funding, serving as the main legal contact for clients.

- Review and correct the drafting and analysis of junior attorneys working on live files.
- Prepare and negotiate loan documentation for large financings, including construction and mezzanine structures.
- Serve as the day-to-day advisor to lender clients, offering practical and inventive solutions.
- Partner with firm leadership and paralegal colleagues in a quick-moving, supportive setting.
- Handle matters for lenders in multiple states, often involving specialized property types.
What we're looking for
- At least 8 years of experience in real estate finance law.
- Proven ability to carry a financing from start to finish without close oversight and to guide junior lawyers.
- Track record drafting and negotiating sophisticated loan agreements.
- Background advising non-bank, privately funded lenders.
- Confidence negotiating opposite counsel from large national law firms.
- Juris Doctor from an accredited law school.
- Admission to the New York Bar, or eligibility to waive in.
- Willingness to share a summary list of past transactions.
- An entrepreneurial, team-first attitude.
Bonus points
- Prior experience at a boutique or mid-sized firm focused on real estate.
- Exposure to construction, mezzanine or workout transactions.
- A modest, portable client base.
