  • Work closely with landowners, developers, and external counsel to secure land rights necessary for project development.

Title & Land Due Diligence:

  • Conduct and review title research, coordinate with title companies, and resolve encumbrances or defects to ensure clean site control.
  • Oversee title insurance policies and work with surveyors, consultants, and outside counsel to address title and survey matters.
  • Manage curative work, including obtaining releases, affidavits, and corrective documents to clear title issues that could impact project financing or development.

Project Financing & Risk Management:

  • Assist in preparing real estate documentation for project financing, ensuring land title and leasehold interests align with lender and investor requirements.
  • Identify and mitigate risks related to real estate transactions, including landowner disputes, access rights, and encumbrances.

Qualifications

  • J.D. degree and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 5+ years of experience in real estate law, with a focus on land transactions, title review, and curative work.
  • Strong contract negotiation and drafting skills.
