LA28 is the independent, non-profit, privately funded organizing committee for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are on a singular mission to create an Olympic and Paralympic Games that celebrate all that this city and country have to offer, delivering an unparalleled experience for athletes, fans, partners and our community.
The 2028 Games mark the return of the Summer Games to the U.S. for the first time in 32 years and Los Angeles' third time hosting an Olympic Games and first time welcoming the Paralympic Games. This presents the unique and exciting opportunity to celebrate our legacy with the Games and push the Olympic and Paralympic Movements forward, writing a new chapter of Games history in Los Angeles.
Putting on an Olympic and Paralympic Games is a team sport. To build a Games unlike any the world has seen before, we need the best team in place-a team full of diverse perspectives, experiences and expertise. We are guided by the following set of values and behaviors-optimism, integrity, excellence, inclusion, co-creation and boldness-and look forward to hearing about how your past experiences align with them.
Counsel, Ceremonies & Content:
The Counsel, Ceremonies and Content, will provide day-to-day legal affairs support for LA28's diverse offerings of non-competition events and related marketing efforts of the organization (e.g., Torch Relays, Cultural Olympiad, Live Sites, and fan experiences). Working alongside the rest of the legal team, and others within LA28 and its related production company(ies), this position will be responsible for the review, drafting and finalization of a diverse array of legal agreements to signature (e.g. small venue and location agreements, vendor agreements, equipment/wardrobe rentals, local and government cooperation agreements, marketing agreements, work for hire agreements, releases/waivers, etc.) necessary to implement LA28's live events, create fan experiences and produce Olympic and Paralympic content. In addition, this role will be responsible for the refinement of legal forms, helping with day-to-day production legal demands (e.g. all levels of production agreements, clearance, music rights, etc.) and satisfaction of all required deliverables. This position will coordinate with other LA28 attorneys, business executives, and external stakeholders (e.g., IOC, IPC, broadcasters, sponsors, venues, government entities, outside counsel, etc.). Opportunities to bolster the legal affairs matters for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies may also arise.
To be successful in this role, one must thrive in a “start-up” environment, work quickly and collaboratively, utilize nimble drafting skills and leverage keen communication skills; the work will require issue-spotting, creative problem solving, timely follow-through, persuasive negotiation ability and the aptitude to balance risks independently and stay calm under pressure.
