Transactional Attorney (Real Estate)

Senior Attorney Career Consulting Partners has partnered with a Premier, award-winning law firm based in Manhattan Beach, California, specializing in business law and real estate law. They are in the middle of a serious growth run. New business, real estate, and estate matters are coming in faster than our current team can absorb, and we're adding a dedicated Transactional Attorney to help carry that momentum forward.

For an experienced attorney who wants real ownership of sophisticated deal work, not overflow assignment, this is a rare entry point at a firm that's actually expanding. You'll work directly with our managing partners on high-value business, real estate, and estate transactions, from formation through close, helping clients structure deals that protect what they've built and head off disputes before they land in litigation.

This isn't a document-assembly role; you'll help shape deal strategy from day one and have a genuine hand in building out the practice as it grows.
