POSITION SUMMARY
The General Counsel will serve as the foundational in-house legal anchor for AHG and its entire brand portfolio. The primary mandate is to take end-to-end ownership of the commercial contract pipeline, establish automated template workflows, and clear transaction backlogs to accelerate velocity across our entities. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, build-oriented corporate transactional attorney who can manage high-volume commercial drafting independently, while acting as the primary legal liaison and strategic point of coordination for specialized outside counsel handling M&A, corporate finance, and healthcare regulatory compliance.
SCOPE OF ROLE
This role is designed to internalize high-velocity commercial work, not to replace specialized outside counsel. M&A, corporate finance, trademark coexistence, and tax restructuring remain with corporate/transactional counsel (Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C.), and healthcare/FDA regulatory matters — including digital health privacy, state-by-state telemedicine board positions, and cyber liability — remain with specialized regulatory counsel (Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC). The General Counsel is expected to direct, brief, and manage these relationships as the primary internal liaison, not to serve as the subject-matter expert in these specialized areas.
FIRST SIX MONTHS: 30 / 60 / 90 & BEYOND
This is a build-oriented mandate with clear, concrete milestones. Success in the first six months is defined by standing up the legal function, clearing the existing contract backlog, assuming contract intake from Finance, and driving company-wide Ironclad adoption.
First 30 Days
Stand up the legal function: establish intake channels, triage the existing contract backlog, and assess current Ironclad configuration and adoption status.
Meet with Finance to map the existing contract intake process and plan the handoff of intake ownership to Legal.
Build initial relationships with outside counsel (Munsch Hardt, Buchanan Ingersoll, Baker Botts) and align on active matters and escalation paths.
60 Days
Assume contract intake from Finance and operate it as the standing legal front door for all commercial agreements.
Materially reduce the contract backlog and establish a repeatable review cadence.
Drive Ironclad adoption across brand entities, including workflow configuration and initial template/playbook standards.
90 Days
Bring the contract backlog to a steady, current state with defined turnaround-time targets.
Achieve company-wide Ironclad adoption with contract intake fully owned and operated by Legal.
Deliver an initial contract playbook and clause library covering the highest-volume agreement types (NDAs, MSAs, brand ambassador, pharmacy services agreements).
Produce an outside counsel allocation matrix covering Munsch Hardt, Buchanan Ingersoll, and Baker Botts, defining what stays with each firm, what moves in-house, and associated spend targets.
Long-Term (6–12 Months and Beyond)
Mature the CLM program into a scalable, audit-ready function supporting all brand entities and upcoming capital markets or M&A activity.
Establish AHG as a well-managed steady state for outside counsel engagement, with clear scope boundaries and cost efficiency across specialized firms.
Serve as a trusted strategic partner to the executive team on legal risk, insurance, compliance separation of duties, and employee relations matters.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) & Strategy
Take full operational ownership of the contract review pipeline and lifecycle management across all brand portfolio entities.
Lead the configuration, workflow optimization, and company-wide adoption of the newly selected Ironclad CLM platform.
Draft, review, and maintain efficient pace for a wide array of commercial agreements, including mutual NDAs, contractor agreements, influencer/brand ambassador agreements, master services agreements (MSAs), and pharmacy services agreements.
Formulate robust contract templates, playbook standards, and clause libraries to prevent commercial litigation traps and insulate the portfolio from risk.
Act as the initial internal legal gatekeeper, reviewing all external agreements and ensuring commercial parameters align with financial outlays before execution.
Review and advise on contractual risk transfer provisions (indemnification, limitations of liability, insurance requirements, additional insured provisions, etc.) to ensure they align with the company's risk tolerance and insurance programs.
Intragroup Structures & Corporate Transaction Support
Govern the legal frameworks underpinning multi-tenant digital health platforms, managing legal parameters for multi-brand data flows, zero-trust data sharing protections, and tenant isolation.
Provide corporate support for friendly professional corporation models (such as Zito Care) and specialized Management Services Organization (MSO) frameworks.
Collaborate with the Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Technology Officer on formalized intragroup data-sharing agreements and management service rules across parent and brand entities to ensure audit-readiness.
Support legal due diligence and maintain secure, locked, ready-state data rooms to streamline upcoming capital markets, financing, and M&A activities.
Outside Counsel & Legal Vendor Management
Manage, evaluate, and coordinate all workflows assigned to external legal counsel, ensuring optimal resource allocation and cost efficiency.
Direct corporate and transactional outside counsel (such as Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr, P.C.) on complex trademark coexistence agreements, M&A filings, and tax restructuring.
Partner with specialized healthcare and FDA regulatory counsel (such as Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC) to interpret digital health privacy guidelines, state-by-state telemedicine medical board positions, and cyber liability responses.
Oversee legal vendor invoices, tracking billings by submatter and entity for granular corporate accounting.
Support specialized outside counsel on corporate transactions, reorganizations, and legal structure validations for newly acquired or launching brands.
Cross-Functional Executive Partnership
Partner with the CFO to evaluate and advise on all enterprise, corporate general liability, and cyber insurance programs, manage risk logs, and provide legal parameters for commercial cash-strategy planning.
Work closely with the Compliance Department (Chief Compliance Officer) to maintain a distinct, OIG-aligned separation of duties, keeping legal review separate from regulatory HIPAA, SOC 2, and pharmacy board tracking.
Provide legal guidance and strategic support on employee relations matters, partnering with Human Resources and outside employment counsel on complex workplace issues.
QUALIFICATIONS
Education: Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
Licensure: Active member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas (required).
Experience: 7 to 10 years of progressive transactional legal experience, combining rigorous training at a reputable corporate law firm with in-house experience at a high-growth technology, e-commerce, or digital health platform.
Commercial Expertise: Exceptional track record in high-velocity contract drafting and negotiation, specifically commercial software, vendor, and multi-site healthcare agreements.
Systems Familiarity: Direct experience implementing or managing modern Contract Lifecycle Management tools (Ironclad preferred) and GRC frameworks is highly advantageous.
Regulatory Acumen: High-level familiarity with multi-state corporate footprints and data privacy frameworks (HIPAA, CCPA, or TDPSA) is preferred.
Desired Attributes: A build-oriented executive with elite analytical precision and an agile approach, capable of translating complex legal boundaries into practical, non-blocking guidance for fast-moving entrepreneurial teams.
Compounding pharmacy experience (specifically 503A or 503B) or telehealth/digital health regulatory experience is highly preferred.
