As a Title & Survey Paralegal within the Finance department of the law firm, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks that support lawyers in closing multifamily real estate financings. Your duties include organizing and reviewing due diligence documents, preparing due diligence checklists, and coordinating and tracking the receipt of these documents. You will prepare summaries of due diligence documents to assist in the preparation of disclosure documents and draft routine transaction documents. Additionally, you will assist with researching federal, state, and local laws.

Your role will also involve drafting and proofreading both routine and complex transaction documents, preparing closing checklists, closing certificates, and other closing documents. You will coordinate the execution of closing documents, conduct closings, and prepare closing transcripts. Part of your responsibilities will include filing UCCs and other required filings.
