Commercial Real Estate Paralegal – Equity Transactions

Commercial Real Estate Paralegal – Equity Transactions

Title & Survey Memoranda | High-Value Acquisitions, Dispositions & Development

Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid after training depending on business needs)

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Flexibility for proven equity-side experience

This role is for experienced commercial real estate paralegals who have personally drafted title and survey memoranda for equity-side transactions
.

This is not a residential real estate role.

This is not lender-only or bank-side work.

If your background does not include hands-on title and survey analysis for acquisitions, dispositions, or development
, this role will not be a fit.

You will support a sophisticated commercial real estate equity practice handling complex, high-value transactions. Paralegals in this group are expected to take a substantive first pass at diligence and deliver organized, attorney-ready work product.

This is a role for professionals who already understand what equity-side commercial real estate work entails and are comfortable operating at that level.

• Drafting title and survey review memoranda for commercial real estate equity transactions
• Reviewing and analyzing title commitments, surveys, zoning reports, and related diligence
• Managing diligence materials and coordinating closing logistics
• Supporting acquisitions, dispositions, borrower-side financings, and development matters
• Working across multiple attorneys and deal teams simultaneously
• Maintaining organization and judgment across multiple active transactions (often 5–10 at a time)

• 5+ years of commercial real estate paralegal experience in a law firm environment
• Demonstrated experience drafting title and survey memoranda
• Equity-side transaction experience (buying, selling, developing property)
• Experience supporting large, complex commercial transactions
• Ability to produce reliable work product with limited oversight

To respect everyone’s time, the following backgrounds generally do not align with this role:

• Lender-only or bank-side commercial work
• Title company or abstractor roles without law firm transaction responsibility
• Clerical or document-only paralegal positions

Selected candidates will be asked to provide a representative title or survey memorandum sample (redacted as needed).

The sample is reviewed solely to understand:

• How diligence issues are organized and analyzed
• The candidate’s level of substantive involvement
• Familiarity with equity-side transaction review

• Paralegals are treated as true transaction partners
• Sophisticated, nationally recognized real estate practice
• Reasonable billable expectations for this level of work
• Long-term stability and strong internal reputation
• Flexibility for experienced, proven professionals

• Initial conversation with a Focus People recruiter
• Targeted experience screening
• Attorney interviews
• Work product review (redacted memorandum)

Focus People and our client are equal opportunity employers. We do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected status.

If you are already drafting title and survey memoranda for equity-side commercial real estate deals and are open to a role where your experience is understood and relied upon, this is worth a confidential conversation.
