The Company is seeking a Chief Legal Officer to lead its legal affairs and provide strategic legal guidance to the executive team. The CLO will be responsible for a wide range of legal matters, including advising on legal risk, overseeing contracts, litigation, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance. Key responsibilities for the Chief Legal Officer include serving as the primary legal advisor to the CEO, executive team, and Board, as well as drafting, negotiating, and approving various agreements. The successful candidate will also direct legal matters related to construction and restoration, manage litigation and outside counsel, and ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, and state licensing regulations. Additionally, the CLO will lead legal work on acquisitions, financings, and other transactions, and provide legal oversight on employment law matters. Applicants for the Chief Legal Officer position at the company should have a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, an active law license in good standing, and a minimum of 10 years of legal experience, with a preference for those with in-house leadership experience. The ideal candidate will have a background in the construction, restoration, insurance, or multi-location services industry, and possess multi-state and multi-entity legal experience.
