Commercial Real Estate Paralegal – Lease & Contract Administration

About the Role

Are you a paralegal or contract/lease administrator who thrives on being organized, efficient, and ahead of the game? Do you want more than a routine role — the chance to be a key player on major commercial real estate projects?

This is a confidential opportunity to join a growing real estate development firm in a high\-impact, visible paralegal position. You will handle the critical details\~ leases, contracts, deadlines, assisting closings, that make large projects possible, while collaborating daily with our development managers, construction managers, general counsel, and outside professionals across the full spectrum of disciplines that bring a project to life.

This is a role for someone who is very passionate, loves variety, is energized by dynamic work, and takes pride in being the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What You’ll Do (to name a few)

• Keep deals on track: Manage calendars, key dates, lease expirations, renewal options, and purchase deadlines.
• Abstract \& summarize: Review leases, purchase agreements, amendments, estoppels, and closing documentation.
• Coordinate across disciplines: Work directly with leadership, development managers, construction managers, accounting, tax, general counsel, and outside consultants.
• Support closings \& diligence: Help prepare for and manage title, survey, and other critical items.
• Stay adaptable: Embrace a role where priorities shift daily, from legal admin one day to development coordination the next.
• Drive efficiency: Use technology and organization to streamline processes and add value.
• Be the glue: Serve as the all\-encompassing connector across legal, development, construction, and financial functions.

What you Bring?

• 3–5\+ years of experience in commercial real estate paralegal, lease administration, or related role.
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and keep deadlines moving.
• Detail\-oriented and very organized
• Very Strong communication skills, both written and verbal — with confidence working across development, legal, and construction teams.
• Tech\-savvy, comfortable with MS Office and able to pick up new systems quickly.
• A self\-starter mindset: hard\-worker who is proactive, dependable, and able to “pick up the ball and run with it.”
• Professionalism, discretion, and a strong work ethic, the hallmarks of a true all\-star teammate.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Impact \& Visibility – You’ll play a direct role in shaping large, scale real estate projects, touching every stage from legal agreements to construction handoff.
• Variety Every Day \~ This is not repetitive work. You’ll wear multiple hats, juggle changing priorities, and work across legal, development, and construction disciplines.
• Career Growth – A path to advance as the company scales.
• Team Culture – A small, professional, collaborative team that values initiative and respects contributions.
• Competitive Compensation, aligned with the Louisville market.
• Flexibility – Confidential search; hybrid and remote options available.
