The Las Vegas Raiders have hired former Big Law partner Justin Carley as general counsel, a post that has seen heavy turnover as the NFL franchise grappled with multiple controversies in recent years.

Carley comes to the Raiders from real estate developer Howard Hughes Corp. For nearly three years, he has been Honolulu-based and serving as the company's assistant general counsel. Before that, he spent 13 years in the Las Vegas office of Am Law 200 firm Snell & Wilmer.

Carley replaces Kevin Manara, who departed in August after only 10 months in the job. He came to the team from the NFL, where he'd been an attorney for 13 years.
