Question
Litigation management role. Fine with a hybrid role. Have real estate experience, litigation experience, transactional experience and some compliance experience.
Answer
The call: Prioritize hybrid Litigation Counsel / Claims Counsel / Senior Corporate Counsel roles with homebuilders, real-estate owners/operators, insurers, and multi-state companies—not UWF’s Associate General Counsel role, which is broader institutional counsel work rather than litigation management.
Real-time local factors
- Your mix is unusually strong for a role that manages outside counsel while also handling contracts, disputes, risk, compliance, and property-related issues internally.
- Garden Street Communities Southeast and Adams Homes remain especially on-profile because real-estate development and homebuilding naturally combine construction/property disputes, contracts, regulatory issues, and outside-litigation management.
- I do not have a newly verified hybrid posting to name beyond the Pensacola roles already discussed, so I would not treat any unverified employer as actively hiring.
- For hybrid searches, use titles beyond “in-house counsel”: Litigation Counsel, Managing Counsel—Litigation, Claims Counsel, Corporate Counsel—Disputes, Real Estate Counsel, Risk & Compliance Counsel, and Associate General Counsel—Litigation.
Runners-up
- Insurance carriers / third-party claims administrators — go here instead if you want the heaviest litigation-management component: panel counsel oversight, coverage/dispute strategy, reserves, reporting, and settlement authority.
- REITs, multifamily operators, and national developers — better if you want to keep real estate central while managing landlord-tenant, construction-defect, contract, title, and property disputes.
- Homebuilders and construction-materials companies — better if you want a practical blend of transactional work, construction litigation, land/property issues, and compliance.
What flips this: If you want to personally litigate regularly rather than primarily manage outside counsel and business risk, target Litigation Counsel roles; if you prefer strategy, budgets, settlements, and supervising firms, lead with Managing Counsel / Claims Counsel / AGC—Litigation.
Position your résumé headline around: “In-House Counsel | Litigation Management | Real Estate & Commercial Transactions | Compliance.” Your strongest résumé bullets should quantify outside-counsel oversight, contested matters resolved, litigation spend or budgets managed, deal value/volume, and any compliance programs you built or supported.
