In-House Counsel – Healthcare

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Job Type: Full-Time | In-Person
Benefits: 200k+ Full Benefits Package

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced In-House Counsel to join an established and growing healthcare organization operating skilled nursing facilities, senior living communities, and related healthcare services.

This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who wants to be closely involved with the business and grow alongside the organization. We are looking for someone who is hungry, adaptable, collaborative, and hands-on.

The ideal candidate has enough experience to contribute immediately but is also open-minded and willing to learn how the organization operates. We are looking for someone who will roll up their sleeves, work closely with leadership and operations, and find practical solutions rather than coming in with a rigid approach.

This is not a litigation-only position. The role combines healthcare law, contracts, regulatory compliance, risk management, litigation oversight, acquisitions, and day-to-day operational support.

Responsibilities

• Advise executive leadership on healthcare operations, legal risk, regulatory compliance, contracts, and corporate matters

• Provide practical legal guidance to support day-to-day business operations

• Manage professional liability, general liability, employment, resident, and other healthcare-related litigation

• Coordinate case strategy and manage relationships with outside counsel

• Draft, review, and negotiate vendor, management, professional services, real estate, confidentiality, settlement, and other commercial agreements

• Support healthcare mergers, acquisitions, and strategic transactions

• Assist with legal due diligence, transaction documents, risk identification, and post-acquisition integration

• Partner with Operations, Compliance, HR, Clinical, Finance, and Risk Management

• Monitor healthcare regulatory developments affecting skilled nursing, senior living, and post-acute care

• Help develop policies and processes that reduce organizational risk while supporting continued growth

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school

• Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

• 7+ years of legal experience

• Strong healthcare law experience

• Experience with skilled nursing, senior living, post-acute care, hospitals, healthcare systems, or similar healthcare organizations preferred

• Experience managing litigation and outside counsel

• Strong contracts and commercial agreements experience

• Mergers & acquisitions experience

• Knowledge of healthcare regulations and regulatory agencies

• Excellent communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills

What We're Looking For

Experience is important, but mindset is equally important. We want someone who is motivated, flexible, approachable, and excited to grow.

The right candidate will bring strong legal experience without a “this is how I’ve always done it” mentality. We want someone comfortable wearing multiple hats, learning the organization, collaborating across departments, and tackling issues as they arise.
