Requirements

Consumer Class Action Attorney | In-House Counsel

UtiliSave LLC

UtiliSave has recovered more than $700 million in hard-dollar refunds and credits for institutional owners and operators of real estate across the United States, uncovering savings in 94% of the clients we audit. We pursue claims with tenacity and legal rigor, and we are now building a class action practice to address systemic overcharges affecting multiple customers. We seek an exceptional Consumer Class Action Attorney to lead this strategic expansion.

For over 35 years, UtiliSave has led the utility bill auditing industry and we are still growing. Our legal team is evolving to include class action litigation expertise. We are seeking a Consumer Class Action Attorney with 7+ years of plaintiff-side class action experience to develop and lead consumer class action cases arising from utility billing disputes, regulatory non-compliance, and systemic overcharges. This role offers the rare opportunity to build a novel litigation practice at a mission-driven company with the resources to pursue cases aggressively.

UtiliSave's success is built on tenacity, integrity, and an unrelenting commitment to our clients' best interests. Our auditors are thorough, detail-oriented, and persistent; they fight for claims others walk away from, and they win. Our legal team brings the same out-of-the-box thinking to every engagement, uncovering novel legal theories and pursuing cases where others see only obstacles. If you are driven by the same values—honest, rigorous, creative, and ceaseless in pursuit of results—you will thrive here.

Our clients include manufacturers, hospitals, nursing homes, commercial and residential buildings, universities, hotels, religious institutions, and government facilities. Across these sectors, we routinely uncover evidence of systemic utility overcharges, billing errors, and regulatory violations. We believe many of these claims warrant class action treatment. You will develop case theories, vet claims, pursue discovery, negotiate settlements, and represent classes in litigation. This is an opportunity to leverage your consumer class action expertise in a new domain—utility cost recovery—with significant upside and genuine potential to recover substantial damages on behalf of injured consumers.

What You'll Build Here

You will own UtiliSave's consumer class action practice from the ground up. This role is foundational to a major strategic initiative. You will identify cases with class certification potential, develop litigation strategy, manage discovery, negotiate with defendants and co-counsel, and ensure all matters comply with CAFA and applicable state class action rules. You will work directly with executive leadership to evaluate new cases and allocate resources. As we scale the practice toward multiple active cases, your role will expand with associate and paralegal support added as demand grows.
