Legal Manager - Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Divar is looking for a Legal Manager to lead litigation and dispute resolution across the country. Operating a platform used by millions of people creates legal challenges that cannot always be addressed through conventional litigation practices. This role will manage Divar’s nationwide disputes, oversee external counsel, protect the company in judicial and regulatory proceedings, and develop new legal approaches to prevent organized fraud and misuse of the platform. The successful candidate will work without relying on a large internal litigation team. They will be expected to take ownership, bring together external lawyers and cross-functional teams, and build practical mechanisms from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Own Divar’s portfolio of civil and criminal litigation, from early case assessment and strategy development to hearings, appeals, settlements, and closure.
- Content Policy Design: Develop content governance frameworks that reduce downstream legal risk and clarify liability boundaries.
- Select, instruct, and oversee external counsel across different jurisdictions, ensuring consistent legal positions, high-quality work, timely delivery, and effective cost management.
- Develop scalable processes for case intake, assignment, evidence collection, progress tracking, reporting, and performance evaluation.
- Initiate and lead strategic legal action against fraud networks and other actors who systematically misuse the platform.
- Initiate and lead strategic legal action against impersonation, brand misuse, counterfeiting, and copyright/trademark violations.
- Manage inquiries and disputes concerning allegedly unlawful advertisements, platform obligations, user identification, fraud prevention, and other regulatory matters.
- Identify recurring patterns across cases and translate litigation experience into preventive recommendations for internal teams.
Why This Role Matters
This is not a conventional case-management position. The decisions made in this role can affect a platform serving millions of people, shape Divar’s approach to emerging legal questions, and help protect users and the marketplace from systematic abuse. You will have the opportunity to build new legal strategies, work at the intersection of law, technology, data, and public institutions, and create solutions whose impact extends beyond any single case. If you enjoy taking ownership, navigating ambiguity, building from scratch, and solving legal problems for which there is no ready-made answer, we would like to hear from you.
