- Bachelor's degree
- Paralegal Certificate (preferred)
- 5–7 years of hands-on experience in commercial real estate transactions, ideally within an AmLaw 100 or equivalent firm
- Expert-level command of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Adobe Acrobat; bonus if you're comfortable with legal closing and document management platforms
- Demonstrated capacity to manage competing deadlines without sacrificing accuracy
- Strong written and verbal communication with meticulous attention to detail
- Methodical problem-solver who works well independently and as part of a team
- Willingness to flex hours during peak transaction periods
