Advise on contractual and commercial risks, including performance guarantees, warranties, indemnities and liability provisions.

Support project financing, M&A and investment-related matters alongside experienced legal colleagues.
Work closely with development, commercial and finance teams to provide practical legal advice.

Key Requirements

JD from a U.S. law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. State Bar.
Approximately 8-10+ years of legal experience.
Strong renewable energy experience, ideally within utility-scale solar development.
