This position is open to the Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle offices.
Our Real Estate practice focuses on acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, construction and development, financing, and real estate investment across a wide variety of property types and industry sectors — including an active and growing data center practice encompassing colocation transactions, hyperscaler leasing, and powered land acquisitions and dispositions serving hyperscalers, institutional capital, and infrastructure developers.
Four to six years of relevant transactional real estate experience is required.

The ability to build relationships — with a variety of clients, colleagues across the firm, and counterparties — and a commitment to in-office collaboration are essential to success in this role.
Our team (and the broader firm) is growing, high-performing, and deeply embedded in the markets we serve.
