  • Partner with internal stakeholders to support new store development, lease negotiations and renewals, remodels, relocations, portfolio optimization initiatives, and store closures.
  • Manage relationships with external legal counsel involved in real estate transactions, including oversight of document preparation and negotiations.
  • Review and manage outside counsel fees against established budgets and ensure efficient use of external legal resources.
  • Provide legal support for real estate-related disputes and litigation, including matters involving mechanics' liens and construction cost disputes.
  • Balance legal, commercial, operational, and risk considerations while providing clear, practical, and business-oriented recommendations.
  • Build trusted relationships with internal clients and serve as a strategic legal partner in a highly collaborative retail environment.
  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree and admission to practice law in an applicable U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 8+ years of legal practice experience, preferably within a law firm, corporate legal department, or relevant regulatory environment.
  • Strong experience handling sophisticated commercial real estate transactions, ideally within a retail or similarly complex multi-site environment.
  • Demonstrated expertise negotiating leases, complex lease amendments, construction and design agreements, purchase and sale agreements, reciprocal easement agreements, SNDAs, estoppels, and related real estate documentation.
  • Proven ability to advise business stakeholders on complex legal issues while balancing risk management with commercial and operational objectives.
  • Experience supporting real estate development, construction, facilities, property management, and portfolio-related activities.

  • Experience managing outside counsel, legal budgets, and third-party relationships.
  • Familiarity with real estate-related disputes and litigation, including mechanics' liens and construction cost matters, is valuable.
  • Strong judgment and the ability to prioritize and manage multiple complex matters in a fast-paced business environment.
