Description

Terra Vista Management is a leading California real estate asset and property management firm specializing in managing a portfolio of companies and their assets which include RV resorts, upscale mobile home parks, marinas, and food and beverage operations. Our mission is to deliver exceptional service, corporate management expertise, property level support and innovative management solutions.

Reporting to the General Counsel, the Senior Paralegal will be joining our in-house legal team. This role provides critical support across corporate governance, real estate matters, HR matters, commercial contracting, and litigation as well as general administrative functions. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in corporate governance (including a clear understanding of California requirements applying to corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships), strong knowledge of real estate terms and matters, experience working with human resources, a working knowledge of litigation procedures (including responding to subpoenas and other discovery requests), and an ability to review, redline and summarize transactional documents. Exceptional organizational skills, technological savvy, attention to detail, strong communication abilities, and a collaborative work style are essential.

The position also requires the ability to take on new and unfamiliar tasks and conduct thorough research to develop well-reasoned answers. The ideal candidate asks thoughtful questions and seeks guidance when appropriate, while also possessing the ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment.

This position is open to candidates located in Southern California. With the potential to be primarily remote, the role will require occasional on-site work at our corporate office in Del Mar, CA, and properties in Newport Beach, CA and San Diego, CA.
