We are hiring an In-House Counsel who is licensed in both Texas and Florida to oversee legal matters originating in these two states. This role requires close coordination with operations, risk management, and external counsel in each jurisdiction, with responsibilities focused on claims, litigation support, contract enforcement, and internal legal strategy.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating complex employment issues, security-related liability risks, and public contract requirements across both states.

The position focuses on managing legal matters in Florida and Texas and supporting A&A’s operational teams in maintaining compliance, resolving disputes, and preventing exposure.
