Job description
LHH is partnering with a rapidly growing national real estate company to identify an experienced attorney for a highly visible in-house legal role supporting a nationwide portfolio of approximately 270 properties across 40 states.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys being hands-on, actively practicing law, and partnering directly with business leaders. The role offers substantial responsibility, significant autonomy, and the opportunity to help build and shape an expanding in-house legal function.
Unlike many in-house positions that focus primarily on legal operations or oversight, this role is ideal for an attorney who wants to remain closely involved in legal matters while serving as a trusted advisor to company leadership.
Why This Opportunity?
Competitive compensation package with base salary up to $300,000 plus bonus potential
Direct exposure to executive leadership and business decision-making
Opportunity to help build and expand the company's internal legal department
Diverse practice spanning landlord-tenant matters, litigation, employment issues, contracts, compliance, and business counseling
Significant autonomy and ownership
Long-term leadership and growth potential
About the Role
Handle landlord-tenant and eviction matters from intake through resolution
Advise operational leaders on day-to-day legal issues impacting property operations
Partner with executives and business stakeholders to provide practical, risk-based legal advice
Manage and coordinate outside counsel across multiple jurisdictions
Handle dispute resolution, settlement negotiations, and legal strategy
Advise on employment, regulatory, compliance, and operational issues as they arise
Draft, review, and negotiate contracts and other legal documents
Help establish processes, procedures, and best practices as the legal function continues to grow
Candidate Background
We're particularly interested in attorneys with experience in:
Unlawful detainer and eviction matters
Multifamily housing or property management
Property operations legal support
In-house legal support for real estate owners, operators, or managers
Attorneys currently practicing in law firms who are interested in transitioning into a business-facing in-house role are strongly encouraged to apply.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of legal experience
Significant experience handling landlord-tenant, eviction, unlawful detainer, and/or real estate litigation matters
Experience managing matters independently from intake through resolution
Strong business judgment and practical problem-solving skills
Ability to work directly with executives, operations teams, and outside counsel
Organized, responsive, and self-directed approach
Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled
