The posting

Senior Legal Researcher | Remote

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. Behind every major savings discovery, there's rigorous legal research. We are seeking experienced Legal Researchers to support our expanding legal team, providing the foundational research that drives case strategy, discovery, and litigation outcomes.

For over 35 years, UtiliSave has led the utility bill auditing industry and we are still growing. Our legal team is expanding and we need seasoned legal researchers who can dive deep into complex regulatory frameworks, case law, statutes, and regulatory filings. You will research utility tariffs, rate design regulations, cost allocation rules, billing compliance issues, and the evolving landscape of consumer protection law as it applies to utility services. No law degree required—just mastery of legal research methodology, platforms, and the discipline to uncover the insights that make our cases.

UtiliSave's success is built on tenacity, integrity, and an unrelenting commitment to our clients' best interests. Our researchers are thorough, detail-oriented, and systematic; they leave no stone unturned and they produce findings that hold up under scrutiny. If you are driven by these values—rigorous, meticulous, intellectually curious, and ceaseless in pursuit of complete answers—you will thrive here.

Our clients include manufacturers, hospitals, nursing homes, commercial and residential buildings, universities, hotels, religious institutions, and government facilities. Each client engagement surfaces complex questions about utility regulation, cost recovery, billing compliance, and damages quantification. Your research will answer those questions and provide the foundation for legal strategy, litigation support, and settlement negotiations.

What You'll Build Here

You will be the backbone of UtiliSave's legal research function. You will own all aspects of case research: regulatory analysis, statutory interpretation, case law development, expert report evaluation, and discovery support. Your work will directly inform litigation strategy, settlement positioning, and client communications. As we scale legal matters from a few cases to many, your role will expand to mentor junior researchers and build research protocols and knowledge management systems that scale the function.

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.
