About the Role
We are looking for a commercially sharp Legal Manager to own end-to-end legal support for Housr’s pan-India operations. Working closely with the Founder’s Office, you will manage real estate transactions, commercial contracting, regulatory compliance and dispute resolution as the business scales. This is a high-ownership role suited to a lawyer who is equally comfortable drafting a complex lease, advising a business team, and managing external counsel.
Key Responsibilities
- Property & real estate transactions — Conduct title due diligence and advise on land use, zoning and municipal regulations; draft, review and negotiate leave-and-license agreements, lease deeds and property management agreements with owners; oversee execution, notarisation and registration to ensure legal validity.
- Commercial contracting — Draft, review, and negotiate vendor, service-provider, partnership and non-disclosure agreements; build and maintain standardised contract templates.
- Resident & customer agreements — Draft and maintain occupancy and licence agreements and customer terms; advise on consumer-protection, refund and security-deposit positions.
- Regulatory & statutory compliance — Track applicable central, state and municipal laws relevant to managed accommodation and corporate operations, and ensure contracts and practices stay current with regulatory change.
- Data protection — Advise on the lawful handling of KYC and personal data, including compliance with India’s data-protection framework (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023).
- Litigation & dispute resolution — Draft and vet legal notices and responses; manage recovery, eviction and other disputes with owners, residents and vendors; instruct and supervise external counsel.
- Risk management — Identify, assess and mitigate legal risk across the company’s pan-India operations.
- Cross-functional support — Partner with business development, finance, sales and operations teams to provide practical, commercially aware legal guidance.
- Records & knowledge management — Maintain a structured, central repository of agreements, KYC documents and legal records.
What We Are Looking For
- LLB from a recognised institution; an LLM is an added advantage.
- 4–6 years of post-qualification experience in commercial and/or real estate law, preferably in a real estate, hospitality or high-growth start-up environment.
- Strong understanding of contract law, property and registration law, and relevant regulatory frameworks.
- Excellent drafting, negotiation and analytical skills, with strong attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate across diverse teams.
- Proficiency in legal research and the use of legal databases.
Why Join Housr
- A high-ownership role with direct exposure to the Founder’s Office and company leadership.
- The opportunity to help shape the legal function of one of India’s fastest-growing managed coliving and serviced accommodation brands.
- A broad mandate spanning real estate, commercial and regulatory work — well beyond a single-domain role.
