How do you find real estate lawyers in New York who are not actively looking?
Most of the strongest candidates in New York's real estate legal market are not on job boards. We maintain a continuously updated map of 2,000+ practitioners in this market, which lets us approach the right people directly and discreetly — including partners with institutional relationships and associates with specialist transactional depth.
What types of real estate legal roles do you recruit for in New York City?
We recruit across the full spectrum: transactional partners handling acquisition, disposition, and joint-venture work; finance specialists covering construction lending and CMBS; land-use and zoning counsel; and leasing lawyers who know New York's commercial and mixed-use conventions. Our market map covers all of these disciplines so we can respond to precise mandates, not just broad practice-area requests.
Can a company that operates in New York use Sartori & Partners to build a real estate legal team?
Yes. In-house legal teams at real estate developers, asset managers, and financial institutions that operate in New York engage us for both individual senior hires and team builds. Because we map the full attorney population in this market — not just those circulating on the lateral market — we can identify talent that fits a specific deal focus or portfolio type.
