About The Position

LOGS Legal Group LLP has an exciting Onsite opportunity for a Legal Assistant who has direct experience with Title Curative to join our Louisiana team! The Title Curative Specialist is responsible for resolving title defects, exceptions, and requirements identified during the title examination process. Operating within the default servicing and lender services environment, this role bridges the gap between a problematic title and an insurable one — clearing the path for foreclosure completion, REO disposition, and asset transfer. This is a resolution-focused role requiring persistence, legal instrument knowledge, and strong cross-functional coordination. The Title Curative Specialist is the engine that keeps files moving. By methodically resolving the defects identified by the examination team, this role converts uncommittable or uninsurable title into clean, closeable files. Their work directly reduces file age, prevents SLA breaches, and allows the broader team to meet client commitments and throughput goals. A skilled curative specialist is one of the highest-value contributors to pipeline velocity. This role impacts the organization by ensuring work is able to move through various stages of the process cleaning to avoid delayed closings, failed REO sales, and lender liability in default servicing. The Title Curative Specialist directly mitigates these risks by ensuring assets are title-insurable and transaction-ready. Their work protects revenue, strengthens underwriter relationships, and preserves the organization's standing with servicer and lender clients who depend on timely, clean title delivery.
