Description:

WHY JOIN ALO?
Mindful movement. It's at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it's our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That's the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

Overview:
We're seeking an experienced real estate and tax attorney to serve as a key in-house legal partner for a growing lifestyle company and its founders. The role blends hands-on transaction execution with deep real estate tax structuring and family-office-style governance, working closely with principals, tax, accounting and outside counsel. You will quarterback deals from LOI through closing and manage ongoing portfolio matters with a strong emphasis on tax-efficient structures.

Responsibilities:

Deal Execution: Lead legal workstreams for acquisitions, dispositions, developments, and recapitalizations (JV equity, preferred equity, construction & debt) and draft/negotiate PSAs and JV/operating agreements.
Tax Structuring: Design and implement tax efficient structures in partnership with advisors on complex federal, state, and local tax issues.
Diligence & Risk: Oversee legal diligence (title/survey, entitlements, zoning, environmental, property tax) and craft practical risk-allocation solutions.
Strategic Governance: Align entity charts, intercompany agreements, and trust/estate considerations with investment goals; manage confidentiality; coordinate with wealth/estate/tax advisors.
Portfolio Support: Handle amendments, estoppels/SNDAs, refinancing, property-tax appeals strategy and asset-level compliance.
Outside Counsel Management: Scope, select, and direct outside counsel; manage budgets and timelines; translate advice into strategic decisions.

Qualifications:

Experience: 8–12+ years (law firm and/or in-house) focused on real estate transactions and real estate tax planning. Family-office, private investment company, or closely held sponsor/owner experience strongly preferred.
Credentials: JD from a top tier law school required; LL.M. in Tax a plus. Active bar admission in California or ability to register in-house.
Skills: Business-oriented negotiator, highly responsive and strategic thinker and low-ego collaborator able to work directly with principals and counterparties in a fast-paced environment.
