  • Participate and collaborate with Acquisition Officers and Asset Management teams on all significant transactions, with a focus on Haven Housing activities.
  • Draft and negotiate Purchase and Sale Agreements for affordable and market‑rate acquisitions.
  • Provide legal assistance and direction to the Company regarding the legal aspects of ongoing strategic acquisitions, financing, and transactional matters.
  • Manage the contract approval process and interact with governmental agencies and lenders as required.

OTHER JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Maintain and distribute legal documents (letters of intent; leases; memoranda of lease; estoppel certificates; subordination, attornment, and non‑disruption agreements, and lease amendment formats) and templates for repetitive use by Asset Management and Property Management departments, including added and alternate provisions.
  • Complete other special projects or assignments as required.
  • QUALIFICATIONS

  • Law degree and admission in good standing with a state bar, preferably California.
  • Knowledge of federal affordable housing programs (LIHTC & HAP) along with other legacy programs.
  • Maintain bar license requirements by attending required continuing legal education courses, with a study emphasis in real estate, construction, financing, business, and corporate law.
  • 7–10 years of legal experience at a respected law firm in the commercial real estate department or in‑house at a real estate company focused on affordable and market‑rate acquisitions, leasing, and compliance advising.
  • Outstanding communication skills, including written, verbal, and interpersonal skills.
  • Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑activity environment, able to handle ambiguity, juggle many matters at once, and quickly shift from one situation or task to another.
  • Ability to collaborate cross‑functionally across teams with a positive attitude that no job is too big or too small.
  • Ability to work independently and with minimum supervision.
  • Proven experience managing and leading teams in growth environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to maintain confidentiality.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Word, with basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Outlook.
  • COMPENSATION
