About the Role

As Associate Counsel, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with our Legal leadership team across contracts, disputes, compliance, and corporate matters — building the exact skill set that turns a Junior Counsel into a Senior Counsel. This isn't a role where you get parked on one narrow lane of work for years. You'll rotate through transactional drafting, dispute resolution, lien compliance, vendor onboarding, and strategic projects, with leadership actively investing in your growth at every step. If you're looking for a legal career with a visible, achievable next step — this is it.

Responsibilities

Provide day-to-day legal support to Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Supply Chain, alongside the Leadership team.
Help manage and respond to customer dispute matters, including cancellations, liens, and collections.
Prepare and respond to demand letters, regulatory inquiries, and pre-litigation correspondence.
Draft and review settlement and release agreements, and support legal review on customer compensation decisions.
Support mechanic's lien compliance across our operating states and respond to lender and third-party notices.
Draft, review, and redline residential and commercial agreements — installation, subcontractor, service, and terms and conditions.
Support vendor onboarding, confirming compliance through the contract lifecycle.
Assist with corporate secretarial work: entity management, company policies, and licensing.
Conduct legal research and prepare memos and presentations on relevant regulatory topics.
Help build and maintain legal templates, guidelines, and in-house policies.
Manage legal matter intake and triage from start to resolution.
Coordinate with outside counsel on litigation holds, document preservation, and discovery.
Support Leadership on strategic, cross-functional projects tied to our mission and values.
