Associate General/Corporate Counsel

ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL / CORPORATE COUNSEL

Las Vegas, Nevada | Full-Time

ABOUT THE POSITION

We are seeking a practical, business-minded Associate General Counsel / Corporate Counsel to support the company across litigation and dispute management, corporate governance, commercial contracts, compliance, risk management, and real estate matters. This is a hands-on in-house role for an attorney who can move comfortably between active disputes, day-to-day business counseling, and significant transactions. The ideal candidate will have approximately 4-8 years of relevant legal experience, with meaningful litigation experience in state or federal court and exposure to corporate or commercial matters. Real estate, construction, or development experience is valuable, but the immediate priority is a strong generalist who can help manage disputes, protect the company, and build sound legal processes as the organization grows.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Draft and review demand letters, responses, pleadings, motions, discovery, subpoenas, settlement documents, and other litigation materials. Develop case strategy, investigate facts, preserve evidence, interview witnesses, evaluate exposure, and provide clear recommendations to senior management. Represent or support the company in mediations, arbitrations, hearings, depositions, settlement conferences, and trial preparation, as appropriate. Support corporate governance, including entity formation and maintenance, board and member consents, resolutions, signature authority, annual filings, licenses, and corporate records. Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, vendor and service contracts, consulting agreements, confidentiality agreements, licenses, construction-related agreements, and other business contracts. Identify and help address compliance, employment, operational, and enterprise-risk issues in coordination with management and outside specialists. Support real estate transactions, including purchase and sale agreements, leases, easements, covenants, title and survey matters, due diligence, closings, and property-related disputes. Assist with land-use, entitlement, governmental, and development matters when needed, without serving as the primary technical land-development specialist. Prepare concise, decision-oriented legal and matter-status reports for senior management.

Excellent legal research, writing, negotiation, analytical, organizational, and verbal communication skills.

Practical, decisive, resilient, and comfortable working directly with executives and operating teams.
