We are currently seeking a lawyer with 2-5 years experience to join our growing practice in a niche landlord tenant firm. We represent commercial and residential landlords.
Residential landlord tenant law has become a deceptively complicated legal practice over the past 20 years. Oregon law changes on a yearly basis, and Portland and other local codes significantly impact how landlords and tenants may contract. Additionally, federal fair housing laws apply. Oregon is in desperate need of experts in this field because there are innumerable rental agreements between Oregon tenants and landlords, and therefore innumerable opportunities for error and dispute.
This individual will be responsible for drafting communications, agreements and legal memoranda, attending court hearings, compiling and maintaining electronic case files, and acting as an advocate to our clients. The person will immediately make courtroom appearances. Direct client interaction and client intake will progress as the person becomes experienced and well-versed in landlord tenant law.
The ideal candidate will have familiarity with landlord tenant law, but any background in real property will be sufficient for consideration.
