I want to get into Real Estate Law - as a NY attorney I know it should be relatively easy to get my real estate brokers license and I’m also considering a 1 year LLM in Real estate law, is the LLM worth it or should I just continue applying to real estate attorney jobs?

Just apply. The LLM is worthless when it comes to a job. I’m 40 years in and I’ve never seen a practicing RE with an LLM. To me, an LLM makes the candidate look like he’s compensating for something.

Candidly, I don’t know a single RE attorney I’ve ever practiced with who has an LLM and I’ve been doing this for 10 years…

Just apply. Don’t think the LLM is so helpful either although I do know an attorney that got one but she is from another country. Real estate brokers license is definitely not needed for re law practice

LLMs are so expensive and likely won’t help you at all. Re is so hot right now that if you express very high interest (which you have), you’ll get a job. Everything else you’ll learn on the job

3 months ago all you needed was to say I want to be a real estate lawyer. 100 firms would have made you an offer.

Now you can get your broker's license and LLM's from Harvard and Yale and you will not receive a single call.

Ok. Been at the industry conference too long. But never met anyone with a real estate LLM or for that matter anyone that took a good real estate law class in law school.

Maybe a real estate class or two at masters real estate program at schools like Schack or Fordham might help some.

What are you practicing currently. I think the market is still pretty hot for RE. If you have a couple years in anything potentially transferable then I think you should just keep applying.

Just apply to jobs. Those extra things won’t help you practice.

At this point I’d just join your State’s law library—find a practice guide and freshen up on RE. I took several classes in law school and you’d be surprised how familiar the language is—unlike other forms of law RE is everywhere.

What’s your background? My midsize NYC firm is hiring and needs ppl.
