Job description
Savory Fund is seeking an experienced Associate General Counsel to join our legal team and play a key role in supporting the growth of our portfolio brands. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and wants direct ownership of a broad range of legal matters—with a particular focus on commercial retail lease negotiation.
Reporting to the General Counsel and Executive Leadership, you'll partner closely with deal teams and brand leadership across real estate, contracts, litigation, and corporate governance, serving as a trusted advisor at every level of the organization — from field leadership to the executive team.
What You'll Do
Negotiate and draft commercial retail lease agreements and amendments across the portfolio
Support real estate development activity and site-related legal review for portfolio brands
Draft, review, and negotiate vendor and commercial contracts
Manage litigation and pre-litigation matters, including oversight of outside counsel
Advise on corporate governance, entity structuring, and formation for portfolio entities
Partner with deal teams on the legal aspects of acquisitions and brand transactions
Support board meetings, resolutions, and corporate filings
Develop and maintain internal policies (data privacy, anti-corruption, employment law, and more)
Monitor regulatory developments and advise on compliance across the restaurant and investment industries
Review marketing and product materials for legal compliance
Independently manage a high volume of legal matters, escalating as appropriate
What You Bring
J.D. and active U.S. state bar membership in good standing (Utah admission or eligibility preferred)
5–10 years of relevant experience in commercial real estate/lease negotiation, commercial contracts, litigation management, and/or corporate/transactional law
Strong commercial retail lease negotiation experience strongly preferred
Restaurant, hospitality, franchise, multi-unit, or private equity experience a plus
Exceptional attention to detail and strong drafting and communication skills
A collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to manage competing priorities under pressure
Comfort with technology and document management systems
Willingness to travel and provide occasional after-hours support
Why Savory Fund
Savory Fund invests in and scales emerging restaurant brands. We're guided by our core values — Competency, Humility, Integrity, and Positivity — and we're looking for a legal partner who shares that mindset and wants to make a tangible impact on our continued growth.
