They’re looking for a mid-level Real Estate Finance associate to join the Chicago team.

What stands out:

\n
- Exposure across a broad range of asset classes, including commercial, healthcare, automotive, office, multifamily, retail and industrial
\n
- Partnership-track opportunity inside an established, growing practice, with increasing responsibility and close work alongside experienced Partners

If you have 3–5 years of real estate finance experience representing lenders and investors, hold a J.D. with strong academic credentials, and are admitted in (or working toward admission in) Illinois, this is a conversation worth having before year end.
