Description

Do you thrive in the fast-paced world of real estate? Are you passionate about contracts, negotiations, and legal matters? If so, we want to hear from you!

A growing real estate company in Orange County is seeking a highly motivated CA-licensed In-House Counsel with 5-10 years of experience. In this role, you will play a key role in managing all aspects of legal affairs related to real estate transactions and property management.

Responsibilities:

• Draft, review, and advise on real estate-related contracts, as well as supplier agreements, service provider agreements, IT/tech agreements, office leases, and more.

• Manage and provide legal advice on real estate disputes, including eminent domain proceedings, easements, access agreements, and property & asset management issues. You will work collaboratively with outside counsel as needed.

• Assist with due diligence review for large-scale real estate transactions.

• Negotiate and manage leases.

• Stay up-to-date on current residential real estate laws and regulations.

^ Pay is contingent upon fluency with the duties above handling real estate transactions, and caliber of firms/companies worked at.

Details of Role:

· Hours: Roughly 8am to 5pm. There could be some flexibility on start/end time, but should be general business hours. Minus certain busy seasons, crazy OT is not the norm.

· Hybrid Schedule: Monday and Friday from home, Tuesday thru Thursday in the office (Tustin)

· Profile that would be a fit:

o 5-8 years of corporate transactional experience, at a firm or company

o Professional service mindset, do-it-all mentality (not someone who says “that is not in my job description”)

o Someone who believes in the benefits of AI and technology (not someone who fights it)

• Knowledge of data privacy laws is helpful

• Exposure to anything AI-related adjacent to legal/contracts/compliance is nice-to-have

Perks of Company:

· Beautiful building space that looks like a Google office: lots of skylights and plants, open concept, large kitchen, fun art, etc.

· Company is in growth mode!

· Organized and structured legal department.

· “Culture is king here, it’s a servant culture.”

Requirements

1. 5+ years’ experience with a major law firm, or possibly a reputable in-house legal environment, handling corporate law

• Stellar academic credentials or prestigious firm/company work history is required.

2. Fluency reviewing general commercial contracts, which may be related to real estate but not always: IT, marketing, operational agreements – all related to real estate but you don’t need real estate knowledge

3. Experience with real estate debt and/or equity transactions is a huge plus
