  • Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary due diligence for financings and purchase/sale transactions; act as the EPC/O&M specialist and supervise teams.
  • Advise on international trade restraints affecting procurement (WROs, import duties, tariffs) and integrate impacts into project documents.
  • Collaborate with clients to craft practical, business-oriented solutions; mentor junior lawyers; contribute to business development and thought leadership.

  • 10+ years of experience conducting due diligence of renewable energy project-related documents in preparation of financings and purchase/sale transactions, including leading due diligence teams and coordinating among specialists, as well as performing due diligence as the specialist in EPC and O&M areas.
  • Experience advising clients regarding international trade restraints, including withhold release orders (WRO), import duties and tariffs, and their impact on equipment procurement and other project development documents in the renewable energy sector.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to manage multiple projects and work successfully within a team through communication and appropriate delegation and supervision.
  • Experience exercising business and professional judgment, understanding client goals, and developing practical solutions to meet those goals.
  • Evident engagement in business development and civic and professional organizations.
  • JD from an accredited university and active membership or commitment to applying for the California, District of Columbia, Minnesota, Oregon, or Washington state bars.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
