General Outside Counsel Legal Services

The Housing Agency is seeking a qualified law firm or legal professionals to serve as its general outside counsel. The scope includes providing legal advice, drafting and reviewing contracts, handling litigation support, and offering counsel on regulatory compliance for the agency’s housing programs. This engagement is intended to give the agency ongoing access to legal expertise without maintaining an in‑house legal department. • Provide day‑to‑day legal advice to agency staff on housing‑related matters. • Draft, negotiate, and review contracts, leases, and procurement documents. • Represent the agency in administrative hearings and, if needed, coordinate external counsel for litigation. • Advise on compliance with federal, state, and local housing regulations and funding requirements. • Deliver timely legal memos, risk assessments, and policy recommendations.
