Job Description

WGL - Senior Associate Legal Counsel, Commercial Transactions

As Senior Associate Legal Counsel, you'll play a key role in supporting the business across a diverse portfolio of legal matters. From commercial transactions and infrastructure projects to real estate and emerging business initiatives, you'll be a trusted advisor to teams throughout the organization. This role is well suited to a lawyer who is adaptable, collaborative, and energized by the opportunity to work across a wide range of topics in a dynamic and evolving industry.

What You'll Do

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of commercial agreements supporting utility operations, engineering, construction, procurement, and strategic initiatives
  • Provide practical, business-focused legal advice that balances risk management with operational objectives
  • Support infrastructure and growth projects through legal guidance on commercial, real estate, and land use matters
  • Partner with stakeholders across engineering, construction, procurement, real estate, compliance, and regulatory teams
  • Contribute to emerging areas of the business, including infrastructure modernization, renewable natural gas initiatives, and large customer developments
  • Share knowledge, improve processes, and help strengthen the capabilities of the legal team

What You'll Bring

  • Juris Doctor and 5+ years of experience in commercial, infrastructure, real estate, energy, or related legal practice
  • Active membership in good standing with at least one state bar and the ability to practice in DC, Maryland, or Virginia
  • Strong commercial contracting and legal advisory experience, ideally within energy, utilities, infrastructure, or similarly complex industries
  • Sound judgment, practical problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage matters independently while knowing when to escalate risk
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to build relationships across diverse business functions
  • Intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to jump into new challenges, wear many hats, and develop expertise across a broad range of legal and business topics

Why Join

  • You'll work across commercial transactions, infrastructure projects, real estate matters, and emerging business opportunities
  • Partner directly with leaders and subject matter experts across the organization, gaining cross-functional experience that extends well beyond traditional legal work
  • Build a well-rounded in-house legal career while helping shape the future of energy infrastructure and service delivery across the region

The role offers a competitive salary range of $165,400 to $223,300 per year, commensurate with experience, education, and skills.

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.
