About the Role

Milan Laser is seeking an Assistant General Counsel to join its growing in-house Legal team. This role is well suited to an attorney with 1–3 years of experience who is looking to build a broad, hands‑on practice inside a fast-moving, multi‑state healthcare and consumer services company. The ACG will work closely with the General Counsel and cross‑functional business partners on contract review and drafting, professional liability and employment practices litigation management, and corporate entity management across Milan's national footprint.

Entity Management

• Maintain good standing and compliance for Milan's corporate entities across all states of operation, including registered agent management, annual reports, and franchise tax filings
• Prepare and maintain corporate governance records, including organizational documents, resolutions, and minute books
• Support entity formation, qualification, dissolution, and restructuring as the business expands into new markets

What We’re Looking For

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active license to practice law in good standing (Nebraska bar admission preferred, or ability to obtain reciprocity/waive in within a reasonable timeframe)
• 1–3 years of relevant legal experience, whether in‑house, law firm, or a combination
• Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills
• Solid understanding of civil litigation processes, including familiarity with discovery, claims handling, or employment-related disputes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate legal concepts for non‑legal audiences
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines simultaneously
• Sound judgment, discretion, and a high level of integrity when handling sensitive and confidential information

What Sets You Apart
