[Hiring] Real Estate & Litigation Attorney @Blue Peak Ventures Real Estate

Role Description

Blue Peak is seeking an entrepreneurial South Carolina attorney to serve as Independent Counsel through a law practice the attorney independently owns or manages. It is a long-term, high-trust legal-services relationship between Blue Peak and an independent law practice.

The attorney will serve as counsel to Blue Peak for the agreed scope of South Carolina work. You will work directly with the Founder & CEO, and alongside the business operations manager, transaction coordinator, acquisitions representatives, and field operations representatives who manage files day to day. You will handle the legal work behind active acquisitions:

• Quiet title actions
• Partition actions
• Evictions
• Deed preparation and recording
• Title and ownership analysis
• Lien and payoff issues
• Disputes arising from estate and heir-property transactions

Blue Peak will set business priorities, share the facts needed for representation, and make business decisions. You will retain independent professional judgment over legal advice, legal strategy, staffing, representation decisions, and compliance with your ethical and professional obligations. The final agreement will define the represented Blue Peak entity or entities, scope, conflicts procedures, fees, expenses, term, and termination rights.

You do not need to have practiced real-estate law before. Attorneys with strong experience in employment law, personal injury, civil litigation, creditor-side work, commercial disputes, or another high-volume, deadline-driven practice can be strong candidates. What matters is:

• Sound judgment
• Strong writing
• Comfort with litigation-related work
• The ability to learn quickly
• A genuine interest in complex real-estate matters

Your core responsibilities will include:

• Provide legal advice on active Blue Peak matters.
• Handle or coordinate dispute and court-facing work.
• Support transaction execution.
• Build practical legal processes.
• Identify the need for specialist support.
• Maintain appropriate legal-service boundaries.
• Represent Blue Peak only.

This relationship provides meaningful access and responsibility, but it has clear limits. Blue Peak will not own, control, or manage the attorney’s law practice; direct the attorney’s legal judgment; or share in legal fees earned by the attorney or the attorney’s firm. The attorney will not receive Blue Peak equity, options, shareholder rights, voting rights, or corporate-control rights by virtue of this relationship or title.

Qualifications

• South Carolina attorney in good standing with approximately 3-5 years of progressively responsible legal experience.
• Experience in demanding files, managing deadlines, writing clearly, and exercising sound judgment.
• Background in employment law, personal injury, civil litigation, creditor-side work, commercial disputes, foreclosure, title, real estate, or a comparable practice.
• Litigation-capable with experience managing filings, hearings, disputes, and communications.
• Experience owning a difficult matter, practice improvement, or process problem from start to finish.
• Comfortable using technology, documentation, and automation to improve legal work.
• Good with people and comfortable with accountability.
• Conventional firm pedigree, advanced degree, or prior real-estate-law title is welcome but not required.

Requirements

• Must be prepared to develop relevant subject-matter competence deliberately.
• Must be willing to travel within South Carolina when matters require it.
• Must commit prioritized, responsive capacity to Blue Peak's matters for the agreed term and scope.

Benefits

• Keep your own practice and work directly with the Founder & CEO.
• Work alongside the operating team that keeps files moving.
• No legal department to route through and no committee to wait on.
• Work is one client, one area of law, and a defined set of matter types that repeat.
• No billable hour targets and a predictable caseload.
• Substantive work on contested estates, heir-property title, partition and quiet title actions, and foreclosure-related disputes.

Compensation & Engagement Terms

• This is an independent legal-services engagement, not an employment relationship.
• Total annual value of $100,000-$125,000 for the agreed base scope of work.
• Work outside that scope will be compensated separately under an approved fee schedule.
• The compensation structure will be documented in writing before engagement.
• The final engagement agreement will specify payment cadence, travel reimbursement, approved expenses, and records handling.
• Blue Peak intends this to be a long-term working relationship for the agreed scope and term.
