Contracts Counsel

Robert Half • Laguna Hills, CA • 3h ago

Description

We are looking for an experienced In-House Contracts Counsel to join our team in Laguna Hills, California. This role involves drafting, redlining, and negotiating a wide range of legal agreements and contracts independently - 5 years of contracts experience is required.

This In-House Contracts Counsel will require having a proactive approach and the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple departments. The ideal candidate will bring extensive expertise in contract negotiations and legal analysis to operate with minimal oversight. This is not an entry-level position.

The Contracts Counsel will draft, review, redline, and negotiate various @types of contracts, including sales agreements, vendor contracts, software licenses, NDAs, real estate agreements, and research and development contracts. They will also conduct detailed business and risk analyses and leverage the contract management software, Agiloft, to streamline processes.

Personality Fit:

o Confidence to work independently.

o Friendly, collaborative, and someone who enjoys coming to work in-office.

o Someone who wants to work on contracts almost exclusively.

o Resourcefulness. "We are happy to answer questions, but want someone who is always trying to figure it out, coming like "this is what I'm thinking..." A self-starter mentality..."

o "If someone came in rigid, that might not work well here. Sometimes, we have to get creative and need to be flexible."

o Someone who asks, "what can we do" not shut down ideas immediately saying "we can't do that."

Perks of Company:

· In-house: no billable hours, limited overtime.

· Flexibility on start/end time.

· Collaborative, collegial culture. "If someone has no sense of humor, they won't be a great fit here!"

Pay is contingent upon experience. This role requires being in Dana Point 3x/week (including Monday).

Requirements

Minimum 5+ years' experience drafting/redlining/negotiating contracts.

NOTE: This role requires working autonomously and making decisions without managerial input. There is room for bouncing ideas off, but the intent is not doing a initial review then hand to someone else - this person will run with contracts themselves. Redlines are not high level - this attorney will be doing a full business and risk analysis.

CA bar (active). Ability to commute to Dana Point 3x/week (one day must be Monday for team meetings).

Ready to apply? Send your resume directly to Melanie.Kent[at]roberthalf[dotcom] with "Contracts Counsel - Dana Point" as the subject line. I look forward to hearing from you!
