Discover an exceptional part-time, fully remote Legal Counsel Consultant role through Robert Half in Raleigh, North Carolina. This direct-hire position is perfect for seasoned commercial real estate attorneys licensed in North Carolina seeking flexibility without sacrificing impact. Work 10-20 hours per week on high-stakes transactions for a dynamic, growing commercial real estate firm. If you excel in deal-making, from acquisitions to 1031 exchanges, this role offers the autonomy and sophistication you crave. Join Robert Half's network of top legal talent and elevate your career in commercial real estate law.

About the Role

As a Legal Counsel Consultant, you'll provide expert guidance on complex real estate matters, including loan refinancings, property acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, entity structuring, and tax-advantaged strategies like 1031 exchanges. This isn't your typical attorney position—it's a high-trust, part-time consultancy where you'll operate independently, driving deals forward with minimal oversight. Based in Raleigh, NC, but 100% remote, this role suits self-starters who thrive in fast-paced environments. Expect to handle everything from drafting commercial leases to coordinating multimillion-dollar closings, making you an indispensable advisor to business leaders.

Key Responsibilities

Your expertise will directly shape the company's growth trajectory. Dive into hands-on work that demands precision and strategic thinking:

• Deliver proactive legal counsel to mitigate risks and inform key business decisions in commercial real estate.
• Draft, review, and negotiate critical documents such as real estate purchase agreements, commercial leases, operating agreements, tenancy-in-common (TIC) agreements, and property management contracts.
• Spearhead comprehensive due diligence for acquisitions, ensuring all legal bases are covered.
• Manage end-to-end property closings, from preparation to execution.
• Support major refinancing initiatives, including ongoing projects like a $57 million loan refinance.
• Navigate intricate entity formations, assignments, and waterfall distribution structures.
• Execute 1031 exchanges and other tax-efficient transaction frameworks to optimize client outcomes.
• Resolve conflicts involving vendors, tenants, investors, and partners through negotiation or other means.
• Collaborate seamlessly with property management and accounting teams on issues like evictions, defaults, and compliance matters.

This role emphasizes high-impact contributions over volume, allowing you to focus on sophisticated deals that showcase your commercial real estate prowess.

Required Qualifications

To succeed, you must be an active member in good standing with the North Carolina State Bar. Ideal candidates bring:

• Proven experience as a commercial real estate attorney handling acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and financings.
• Deep knowledge of 1031 exchanges, entity structuring, TIC agreements, and waterfall distributions.
• Track record in due diligence, contract negotiation, and closing complex transactions.
• Strong skills in dispute resolution and risk management.
• Self-motivated mindset with excellent communication and analytical abilities.
• Comfort working remotely in a part-time capacity (10-20 hrs/week).

Robert Half prioritizes candidates who can hit the ground running on high-level real estate legal work.
