Mango Capital, a Far Hills, New Jersey-based real estate holding company, announced on Wednesday that Elliot Pershes will become its next in-house legal boss.
Mango Capital specializes in the acquisition of “undervalued American land,” according to the hire announcement. The company recently made public its acquisition of more than 900 properties in Colorado, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico.
According to his LinkedIn account, for the past four years, Pershes has been an attorney at Compliance Discovery Solutions, an alternative legal services provider in Philadelphia.
It's unclear whether the company has had a GC before—a spokesperson for Mango Capital did not return a call seeking comment on the hire.
In his new role, Pershes will oversee the real estate company's legal and regulatory functions. He will also evaluate the merits of the company's transactions.
“I am thrilled to join such a top-notch team,” Pershes said in the hire announcement. “We are in a great position to pursue future opportunities.”
The company's CEO said he looks forward to working with Pershes, as the company looks to grow into a major domestic landowner.
“He is a super fit for the company and we appreciate his willingness to join our team,” the company's president, Rick Makoujy Jr., said in Wednesday's announcement.
According to LinkedIn, before working at Discovery, Pershes worked at the Regional Human Rights/Fair Housing Commission in Sacramento, California. He also held positions at law firm Beyer, Pongratz & Rosen and the Eva Care Group.
Pershes has also worked as a junior buyer at Procter & Gamble Co. He graduated from the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law.
When not at work, Pershes' LinkedIn said he currently volunteers as an attorney at Philadelphia VIP, an organization dedicated to helping meet the legal needs of the city's low-income residents.
