The Associate Counsel will report directly to the General Counsel and will work closely with internal and external teams and outside counsel across a range of transactions and matters.

· Conduct legal research and analysis, provide practical, business-oriented advice to internal teams, and escalate significant or complex matters to senior members of the Legal Department, as appropriate.

· Review and advise on fund, joint venture, investor, lender, and asset-level governance matters, including consent rights, approval requirements, conflicts, reporting obligations, and compliance with governing documents.

· Oversee, manage and coordinate litigation, claims, disputes, subpoenas, investigations, and pre-litigation matters, including developing strategy with outside counsel, managing budgets, preserving privilege, coordinating discovery, evaluating settlement opportunities, and communicating material developments to internal stakeholders.

· Oversee, manage and coordinate insurance claims and tenders and related matters.

· Oversee, manage and coordinate corporate governance and entity management for HCP’s managed entities.

· Provide day-to-day legal support and guidance to senior management and internal teams.

· Assist Legal Department with the implementation and ongoing optimization of document management, contract lifecycle management, workflow automation, AI-assisted drafting and review. Promote best practices for information governance, cybersecurity, confidentiality, records retention, and data privacy while supporting continuous process improvement across the Legal Department.

· Support strategic projects and deals by giving practical legal advice, spotting issues, and assessing risks, and coordinating with deal team members to help drive investment outcomes.

· Provide cross-functional legal support on operational and strategic matters.

· Oversee deal and contract lifecycle management, ensuring compliance with internal policies, legal requirements, and best practices, while monitoring and managing risk.
