Job Description

Latitude Legal is seeking an experienced California-licensed Real Estate Transactional Attorney to support a boutique San Diego law firm on an ongoing, part-time engagement basis (approximately 10-15 hours per week). This is a fully remote role.

The firm focuses on commercial real estate, real estate development, and construction, serving business owners, property owners, investors, developers, and builders, with both a transactional and a litigation practice. The transactional group is looking for an attorney who can step in and take on drafting and deal support as work comes in. This is a good fit for an attorney who wants substantive real estate work on a flexible schedule, without the overhead of a full-time commitment.

What You'll Do Includes:

Draft, review, and negotiate real estate and business contracts, including purchase and sale agreements, leases, and related transaction documents.
Draft and negotiate construction-related agreements, such as contractor, design professional, and other project agreements, for owners and developers.
Support commercial real estate transactions from due diligence through closing.
Assist with real estate development matters such as land acquisition, development agreements, and joint venture agreements.
Draft and review entity formation and governance documents for property owners and investors.
Work directly with the transactional partner on deal structure, document strategy, and client needs.
Manage assignments independently and keep matters moving while working part-time.

Who You Are:

California-licensed attorney with 5+ years of real estate and/or transactional experience.
Strong contract drafting and redlining skills, with experience across a range of real estate transactional matters.
Comfortable taking an assignment from first draft to completion with minimal oversight.
Construction, development, or land use experience is a plus, but not required.
Organized, responsive, and able to manage a part-time workload alongside other commitments.
Licensed to practice law in California and in good standing.
J.D. from an accredited law school.
Outstanding references.
