The Corporate Counsel will report to the General Counsel and be an integral member of the legal team providing support to the Atlantic Aviation operations, human resources, risk and business development teams. You will experience working collaboratively and cross-functionally with your business clients, governmental authorities, and customers of the company and manage outside counsel in providing sound business judgment to solve the needs of the business. You will advise business teams on various legal risks and business strategies related to general operations, structure, negotiate and review a broad range of agreements including complex commercial and real estate transactions with customers and regulatory authorities and support legal efforts related to M&A.
This position resides in Plano, TX at the corporate office.
ContextAtlantic Aviation is a truly special place to work. The culture is highly customer service focused with a spirit of being constantly willing to help and serve our customers both internally and externally. The company has grown significantly over the past year since KKR's acquisition of Atlantic. We have grown in one-year from 65 FBOs to 100+ FBOs with 3,000 employees.
Atlantic is a highly operational organization with 95%+ of our workforce located in the field at local FBOs and only 5% of the workforce in the corporate office in Plano, Texas. Our teams are dispersed across these 100+ locations. Atlantic is super-fast paced with lean teams that requires flexing and shifting between multiple priorities at once. Grit and high capacity for heavy work volume and the ability to get things done are critical for success.
We operate in a highly service oriented and collegial environment. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to do operational work every day. For an attorney this means working with the General Managers and Senior Leadership in the field and Corporate Executives who are not legal experts and rely on the legal team to guide and direct all aspects of getting contracts and agreements drafted and fully executed. With the small legal team of two attorneys, two paralegals, and a General Counsel, it is important to understand this is not an officer-track role. However, this will be an amazing opportunity for someone who wants to have direct and meaningful impact working with the business every day where your deep legal expertise will be valuable, appreciated and sought out while offering a healthy work-life harmony. This role will require a high degree of independence and ability to lead and collaborate with outside counsel to negotiate complex real estate transactions and resolve critical operational questions with minimum direction from leadership and the General Counsel. It is important for the candidate to be able to manage their own role end-to-end in an organization where you will be looked to for guidance and expertise.
