The Legal & Environmental Development Associate expands the Land Bank's internal legal capacity while embedding legal judgment in complex real estate, redevelopment, and environmental remediation projects.

The position offers the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and develop practical legal and project experience in redevelopment and environmental work.

The ideal candidate is a law school graduate or early-career attorney motivated by public interest work, energized by complex problem-solving, and eager to apply legal analysis within redevelopment and environmental projects that directly impact neighborhoods.

The Position - Essential Responsibilities and Functions

• Provide first-line legal support for real estate, redevelopment, and environmental projects under the direction of Corporate Counsel.

Impact of the Role

The Environmental Legal Associate plays a key role in advancing redevelopment and environmental remediation projects that directly impact neighborhoods across Cuyahoga County. By helping structure redevelopment transactions, manage environmental risk, and coordinate remediation efforts, this role contributes to returning distressed properties to productive community use.

Qualifications

Required:

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school (Admission to the Ohio Bar or intent to sit for the Ohio Bar within 12 months of hire)
• Exposure to environmental law or environmental due diligence work, such as Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessments, compliance matters, or contaminated property issues
• Experience with professional services agreements, consultant contracts, NDA's, amendments, and grant documentation
• Excellent legal analysis, risk identification, and regulatory research
• Ability to exercise sound judgment, identify legal risk, and appropriately escalate issues

Preferred:

• Environmental Remediation / Brownfield Experience (brownfield redevelopment, contaminated site remediation, environmental cleanup programs)

• Experience managing cross-functional projects involving regulatory or funding complexity
