Real Estate Attorney - Joint Ventures and Transactions

Lubin Olson Niewiadomski LLP
San Francisco, CA

Real Estate Attorney - Joint Ventures & Transactions

San Francisco


We are looking for a high-performing real estate attorney who wants to do top-tier work with more responsibility, better client access, and a clearer path forward.

Our practice focuses on sophisticated real estate joint ventures, acquisitions, development, and financing transactions, - the kind of work you would expect at the highest levels of the market, but in a more nimble, collaborative, and entrepreneurial environment.

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you will:

  • Lead drafting and negotiation of complex joint venture and operating agreements
  • Work directly with clients and counterparties on meaningful deals
  • Take ownership of transactions, not just pieces of them
  • Build toward a long-term platform and practice

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has 7–10+ years of experience in real estate transactions
  • Is comfortable running deals and engaging directly with clients
  • Brings strong technical skills and sound business judgment
  • Wants more than just execution — someone interested in growing with a practice


We are interested in candidates with excellent academic credentials and must be licensed in California.


This role is particularly well-suited for attorneys who are doing high-level work but are ready for greater autonomy, visibility, and long-term upside.

Lubin Olson & Niewiadomski is a firm that values collaboration and team support. Our associate hours commitment is 1600 (billable) annually. The expected annual base salary range for this position is $275,000 to $350,000, depending on experience, portable business, and role classification. The position is also bonus eligible.
