Legal Counsel

We are Lennar

Lennar is one of the nation's leading homebuilders, dedicated to making an impact and creating an extraordinary experience for their Homeowners, Communities, and Associates by building quality homes and providing exceptional customer service, giving back to the communities in which we work and live in, and fostering a culture of opportunity and growth for our Associates throughout their career.

A Career that Empowers You to Build Your Future

This is more than an opportunity to review documents and research case law. As Legal Counsel – Litigation, you will be close to the business and on the front lines of legal matters impacting Lennar’s divisions every day. You will partner directly with divisional leaders and internal business teams to evaluate claims, resolve disputes, manage risk, and address legal issues before they escalate. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of matters, develop your legal judgment, appear in court when appropriate, and learn how an in-house legal team balances legal risk with real-world business objectives.

You will work closely with experienced Assistant General Counsels, senior attorneys, paralegals, Risk, and divisional stakeholders. As your experience grows, so will the complexity and ownership of the matters you handle.

For an attorney early in their career, this is an opportunity to build broad, practical litigation experience from inside the business—with exposure to the people, decisions, and issues that drive a large public company.

Your Responsibilities on the Team

Drive litigation, investigations, regulatory filings, and compliance activities, assisting with fact gathering, document preparation, discovery support, and coordination with internal stakeholders and outside counsel under senior attorney guidance.
Perform legal research, issue analysis, and due‑diligence activities, preparing clear memoranda, summaries, and recommendations for review by senior attorneys and legal leadership.
Maintain accurate and well‑organized matter documentation and records, ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and internal record‑keeping requirements.
Identify, flag, and escalate complex, novel, or high‑risk issues to senior attorneys in a timely manner, contributing to risk awareness and appropriate decision‑making.
Partner with business teams on routine legal questions and matters, providing responsive, professional support while reinforcing established legal processes and controls.
Develop legal judgment and technical skills through hands‑on experience, feedback, and mentorship, progressively increasing responsibility and complexity of work handled.
Drive team efficiency and continuous improvement, supporting updates to templates, checklists, playbooks, and knowledge resources as directed.
