Beyond public company work, this attorney also supports the legal needs of our senior living communities and partners across Finance, Investor Relations, and HR, so the Legal team can be a reliable partner to both corporate leadership and the field. We're looking for someone with strong securities and corporate law experience who is also comfortable rolling up their sleeves on day-to-day operational legal questions.

  • Help the company stay compliant with NYSE listing standards and applicable securities laws and regulations
  • Research and track corporate and regulatory developments relevant to a public company, flagging changes that could affect Sonida


Executive Compensation & Equity Programs

  • Provide legal support for executive compensation and equity compensation programs, including Compensation Committee governance, equity plan administration, and related disclosures.
  • Assist with the preparation and review of executive compensation disclosures in the annual proxy statement.
  • Advise on legal, governance, securities law, and disclosure considerations relating to executive and director compensation matters.
  • Coordinate with Human Resources, Finance, and external advisors on compensation-related initiatives and compliance requirements.


Corporate Governance & Shareholder Engagement

  • Coordinate the legal and governance side of the annual shareholder meeting, including proxy statement preparation, meeting logistics, and shareholder communications
  • Help manage shareholder proposals and related engagement efforts, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external advisors as needed


Cross-Functional & Operational Legal Support

  • Partner with Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, HR, and other corporate functions on securities law, disclosure, and governance matters as they come up
  • Advise on community-level legal matters, including resident agreements, state licensing questions, and regulatory issues that affect day-to-day operations
  • Draft and review vendor contracts, service agreements, and other commercial arrangements that support our communities and corporate office
  • Partner with internal teams and outside counsel to manage legal disputes and regulatory inquiries as they come up
