Advise on Legal Compliance: Support business units in monitoring legal compliance by MSGE, Sphere, and relevant counterparties with project-specific contracts, leases, easements, and third-party rights agreements in connection with real estate, operations, construction, and development activity.
Litigation and Pre-Litigation Support: Assist in managing operations- and construction-related pre-litigation or litigation issues, including assisting the Litigation group with initial fact-finding and due diligence reviews and working with risk management/insurance advisers and outside counsel in legal proceedings.
Regulatory and Insurance Compliance: Assist in ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal law, including ADA compliance and relevant building codes, and insurance coverage requirements across MSGE's and Sphere's various business units.
Real Estate Portfolio and New Opportunities: Support senior attorneys and other colleagues with construction, zoning, real estate, historical landmark, and risk management/insurance aspects of the MSGE real estate portfolio and Sphere's exploration of potential new Sphere venues, other venue development, or management opportunities.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Liaise with and support members of the companies' Venues, Risk Management, Health & Safety, Security, Government Affairs, Communications, Tax, and Finance teams as needed.
Outside Counsel Coordination: Assist in managing outside counsel on transactions, including tracking deliverables, reviewing work product, and supporting legal spend management.
Provide exceptional experiences for our guests, partners, and team members, including by adhering to our appearance and presentation guidelines while on-site.
