We act as transactional counsel with respect to complex real estate development transactions and, on some projects, engage and oversee outside counsel; form and maintain in excess of 600 affiliated entities; provide or manage all corporate legal services; and provide counsel on legislative and policy matters.

    The Associate General Counsel will be a member of the Legal Department and will assist with all aspects of the Department's work, including transactional deal work, training, contract review and negotiation and other corporate legal services.

    • Compliance and Management . The Legal Department provides counsel in all aspects of regulatory and legal compliance, as well as in the legal aspects of the operation and management of affordable and mixed-income housing communities and the provision of services to residents. The Associate General Counsel may assist in the provision of advice and counsel regarding such matters and in the development and implementation of corporate and compliance policies, forms, systems and tools to ensure the effective management of legal and other operating risks.
    • Corporate Representation, Claims, Litigation . We provide legal representation to TCB and its affiliates on diverse other matters, including various aspects of employment law, fair housing and other occupancy-related matters, and general contracts. The Department is also responsible for tracking and managing third-party claims, which primarily consists of engaging and supervising outside counsel in connection with litigation, defaults, compliance matters, employment matters, fair housing and other occupancy-related matters.
    • Legal Entity Formation and Maintenance . We regularly provide advice regarding TCB's corporate structure, its capital and lending relationships, its 501(c)(3) status, and the formation and maintenance of over 600 subsidiaries and affiliates (including business and nonprofit corporations, partnerships and LLCs) in various states to accomplish TCB's objectives.
    • Legislative and Policy Matters . The Associate General Counsel may be asked to participate in legislative and policy matters in connection with TCB's mission and operations.
    • Staff Training . The Associate General Counsel may be asked to provide assistance to the General Counsel in providing appropriate training and developing form documents for staff in various departments, including real estate development, asset management and property management.
