Provide expert advice to the business on risk mitigation and compliance, including FERC regulations, CFTC/Dodd-Frank regulations, ISO/RTO market rules, exchange rules, anti-corruption, and import/export requirements.
Work with power generation facility staff to draft and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, as well as provide advice on compliance with applicable laws.
Handle commercial disputes and related commercial litigation as they arise, including overseeing external counsel, as needed.
Oversee corporate governance matters including legal entity management and director and officer changes.
Manage or assist with various Company projects ranging from cyber-security preparedness and response, mergers and acquisitions, financings and corporate reorganizations as needed.

Previous experience with energy trading contracts, regulatory compliance or risk management is highly desirable.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with team members to achieve the Company’s goals and maintain and strengthen relationships with our clients and key stakeholders.
Business acumen that enables you to offer practical legal advice that fully appreciates the business risks and opportunities of a particular transaction or matter.
Super organized and detail oriented.
Clear, effective, and practical contract drafting skills, with a touch of creativity.
Display enthusiasm while maintaining a high level of productivity in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
Demonstrated self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills.
Effective oral and written communication skills, with demonstrated success in presenting ideas and legal concepts in a practical and non-legalese manner.
