Real Estate Attorney (Legal Solutions Architect)

Orbital • New York, NY

12h • $140,000 - $180,000

About The Position

🚀 We’re on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free.
🏢 Real estate is the world’s largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.
🤖 That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.
💰 We’ve just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion.
🤝 We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.
💡 Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one.
Role Overview 🔎
As a real estate attorney, you'll partner with major firms and in-house teams, showing them how to apply our AI to their most complex workflows. You will be the bridge between their legal practice and our product, guiding them through change and shaping how a multi-billion dollar industry operates. This is a chance to use your legal expertise to influence the future of real estate law.
The opportunity here is real, but it's also genuinely hard. We're a Series B company scaling from 100 to over 200 people in 2026, and we trust you to help us build the playbook, not just follow one.
