This is a part-time position of approximately 10-20 hours per week with flexibility in scheduling. Onsite presence in our San Mateo office is preferred, although a hybrid arrangement due to workload may be considered for the right candidate.
Position Overview
The ideal candidate is a highly experienced real estate attorney with 20+ years of relevant legal experience who is interested in applying substantial industry knowledge in a flexible, hands-on environment. This individual will serve as a trusted legal advisor to ownership and senior management and will provide practical, business-oriented counsel across the company's real estate portfolio and operations.
Key Responsibilities

- Advise on landlord/tenant legal matters and other issues affecting the company's real estate portfolio.
- Assist with entity, corporate governance and general business matters.
- Identify and advise management regarding legal and operational risks.

- Active member in good standing of the California State Bar.
- 20+ years of legal experience, with substantial experience in commercial and/or multifamily real estate.
- Significant experience with real estate transactions, contracts, leasing and related legal matters.
- Prior in-house counsel, General Counsel or senior real estate law experience strongly preferred.
- Comfortable working directly with ownership & senior executives in a small-company environment.
Schedule: Part-time, approximately 10-20 hours per week
We offer flexibility in structuring the weekly schedule, but candidate flexibility is also required related to variable workload. Onsite availability in our San Mateo office is preferred, with the possibility of a hybrid arrangement based on experience and business needs.
Compensation:
Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and qualifications.
This opportunity may be particularly attractive to a highly experienced attorney seeking a flexible, reduced-hours position while continuing to handle substantive and meaningful legal work.
