  • Use AI tools and legal-specific software (e.g., Harvey, CoCounsel, Spellbook, Casetext) to conduct research, draft contracts, and prepare analysis before engaging outside counsel
  • Oversee HR legal compliance , supporting the Director of People and HR Coordinator
  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts and agreements across all operating companies
  • Ensure state, federal, and international compliance , particularly for GoTickets , which operates across multiple U.S. jurisdictions
  • Guide corporate governance and entity management across the Skybox portfolio
  • Manage outside counsel strategically to ensure cost-effective, targeted use of resources
  • Advise leadership on employment law, data privacy, cybersecurity, and risk management
  • Support strategic transactions , including investments, acquisitions, and divestitures
  • Develop templates, policies, and scalable processes for legal and HR documentation
  • Oversee compliance for international offices and offshore employees in Israel, Canada, India, and the Philippines
  • Coordinate with outside counsel on real estate and asset management matters at Magnolia Capital
  • Monitor and advise on manufacturing and supplier agreements in China, Vietnam, and other international jurisdictions, leveraging AI to streamline review and due diligence

Who You Are

  • J.D. and active bar membership (U.S.)
  • 8+ years of legal experience, ideally including in-house experience with private equity, family offices, or multi-entity organizations
  • Demonstrated proficiency using AI in legal workflows — drafting, compliance, contract review, and research
  • Proven ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional legal environments
  • Strong foundation in corporate, employment, and compliance law
  • Skilled at balancing risk with business objectives and providing pragmatic guidance
  • Experienced in managing outside counsel cost-effectively
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to translate legal language into clear business recommendations
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and global environment
  • Curious, tech-forward, and constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency and insight through AI
