About HV Talent Group

At HV Talent Group, we help talented professionals like you connect with top employers nationwide. As a trusted recruiting partner to industry-leading companies, we focus on direct-hire placements that align with your career goals, values, and long-term growth.

Our Client
HV Talent Group is partnering with a well-established and growing commercial general contractor seeking an experienced In-House Legal Counsel to establish and lead its internal legal function.

This is an excellent opportunity for a construction attorney looking to transition into—or continue growing within—an in-house legal leadership role while serving as a strategic business partner to executive leadership.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in construction law, commercial contracts, risk management, and dispute resolution, along with the ability to provide practical, business-focused legal guidance in a fast-paced construction environment.

Position Overview
As the company's primary legal advisor, you will partner directly with executive leadership, operations, project management, preconstruction, accounting, human resources, and outside counsel to protect the organization's legal and business interests.

This role is highly collaborative and operational. The successful candidate will not simply identify legal risks but will also provide practical solutions that support the company's continued growth while balancing commercial objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Construction Contracts

Indemnification
Insurance
Payment terms
Retainage
Liquidated damages

Develop standardized contract templates, exhibits, and contract playbooks.
Advise project teams regarding contractual obligations prior to execution.

Payment & performance bonds

Review vendor, technology, equipment, and professional service agreements.
Support employment-related matters in coordination with HR and outside counsel.
Manage relationships with outside legal counsel.
Assist with corporate governance and legal compliance initiatives.

Legal Department Development

Build scalable legal processes and internal systems.
Develop:
Contract approval workflows
Risk matrices
Contract playbooks
Claims tracking procedures
Legal documentation standards
Help determine which matters should remain in-house versus outside counsel.

Qualifications Required

Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
Active member in good standing with The Florida Bar.
Experience handling:
Construction contracts
Commercial agreements
Construction disputes
Construction litigation or risk management
Strong knowledge of construction contracting and risk allocation.
Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills.
Ability to provide practical, business-oriented legal advice.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

Preferred

7–15+ years of relevant legal experience.
Prior in-house counsel experience with a:

Experience negotiating owner contracts and subcontract agreements.
Familiarity with:
Florida lien law
Payment & performance bonds

Balance legal protection with operational realities.
Build trusted relationships with executive leadership and project teams.

You'll serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, influence strategic business decisions, and play a key role in the company's continued growth while establishing yourself as a long-term legal leader.

Pay: $125,000.00 - $225,000.00 per year
