Senior Corporate Paralegal

at  Apex Service Partners

Overview:
Company Overview
Apex Service Partners, LLC (“Apex”) is the nationwide leader in residential home services (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical). Founded in 2019, Apex has experienced massive growth and is now in over 100 locations, in more than 40 states, with 10,000 talented team members. Apex’s revenues currently exceed $2 billion annually, and that number continues to grow rapidly.
The residential home services industry is highly fragmented and is dominated by small and founder-owned businesses. Apex has pursued an aggressive strategy to grow its business organically and through a high volume of acquisitions (over 200 closed to date). Although Apex is the largest player in the industry, it has less than 2% of the market, and approximately 85% of the market remains fragmented. Importantly, we are building our company with a long-term strategy, which means we will invest in top talent and intend to create an enduring firm that is a great employer and member of the community, in addition to being successful in a business sense.
Position Overview
We are looking for a senior corporate paralegal with more than eight years’ experience who wants to get in on the ground floor of an expanding legal team. That paralegal will report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and will work closely with the entire Legal team, Apex’s senior management, and all of Apex’s departments. Our mission is to support the Company’s explosive growth; identify and mitigate hidden risks; help protect the brand and build a “fortress company;” and ensure legal and regulatory compliance.
If you like a high-energy work environment – filled with bright and driven leaders – and have a thirst to contribute to high-achieving teams, this will be a great fit. Your growth here could be virtually unlimited, given Apex’s trajectory.
