Asset Management Attorney

Four Corners Property Trust (“FCPT”) seeks a practical and motivated attorney to join its Legal Department as an Asset Management Attorney. This role is intended for an attorney who is ready to develop into a key legal resource for recurring asset management and portfolio legal matters, with an initial focus on leasing documentation, tenant consents and amendments, property-level operational matters, and legal support for value preservation and value creation across FCPT’s national real estate portfolio. The position will support and help organize a high volume of day-to-day legal matters generated by the portfolio, including, but not limited to, lease amendments, renewals, assignments, estoppels, SNDAs, access agreements, notices, landlord consents, tenant disputes, defaults, operating covenant questions, maintenance and repair issues, insurance and indemnity questions, and related correspondence. The attorney will work closely with the asset management paralegal to coordinate matter intake, document preparation, tracking, follow-up, and completion of recurring portfolio legal matters. This role requires a business-oriented attorney who can develop strong judgment, manage routine matters with increasing independence, identify issues requiring escalation, and help the Legal Department create repeatable processes, templates, playbooks, and technology-enabled workflows for recurring asset management work. FCPT is a technology-forward company, and the successful candidate should be comfortable adopting modern tools to improve delivery of counsel.
