Overview
Join a dynamic and forward-thinking commercial real estate advisory and legal platform as an Attorney Partner specializing in Commercial Real Estate.
CRETA LLP is a Washington, DC-based commercial real estate advisory platform bringing together legal counsel, brokerage, valuation, development, tax strategy, and investment advisory to help owners, investors, tenants, developers, nonprofit organizations, and institutions navigate complex real estate decisions.
This remote partnership opportunity is designed for experienced, entrepreneurial attorneys who are interested in building a long-term practice—not simply joining an existing firm. You'll have the opportunity to lead sophisticated commercial real estate matters, develop your own client relationships, collaborate with multidisciplinary professionals, and help shape the strategic growth of a modern real estate law practice.
Our platform is built on collaboration, integrity, entrepreneurship, and long-term client relationships. We believe attorneys should serve as trusted advisors, helping clients make informed business decisions throughout the entire real estate lifecycle.
Responsibilities
• Lead and manage commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, financing, and development matters.
• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial leases, purchase and sale agreements, easements, operating agreements, loan documents, and related transactional documents.
• Advise clients on commercial real estate development, land use, zoning, due diligence, and regulatory matters.
• Support property tax appeals, development strategy, Opportunity Zone projects, and public-private partnership initiatives where applicable.
• Collaborate with commercial brokers, valuation professionals, construction consultants, financial advisors, and other specialists to provide integrated client solutions.
• Conduct legal research utilizing LexisNexis, Westlaw, and other legal research platforms.
• Represent clients in negotiations, dispute resolution, and litigation related to commercial real estate matters when appropriate.
• Build and maintain long-term client relationships while helping expand the firm's commercial real estate practice.
• Contribute to the continued growth and strategic direction of CRETA LLP.
Qualifications
• Licensed attorney in good standing (Washington, DC preferred; other jurisdictions considered).
• Significant experience in commercial real estate transactions and related legal matters.
• Strong understanding of commercial leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, financing, entity formation, development, and land use.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and client counseling skills.
• Experience using LexisNexis, Westlaw, and other legal research platforms.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the desire to help build a growing practice.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a remote, team-oriented environment.
• Exceptional communication, relationship management, and business development skills.
Compensation
This is an independent contractor and partnership-oriented opportunity. Compensation is based on originated business, revenue sharing, project engagements, and mutually agreed partnership arrangements consistent with applicable legal and ethical requirements. This is not a salaried employee position with unlimited income potential.
