Key Responsibilities:

• Advising clients on FERC regulations, rulemakings, enforcement actions, and compliance strategies.
• Representing energy companies, utilities, and investors in FERC proceedings, including rate cases, tariff filings, and licensing matters.

• Open to opportunities in other utility sectors, including telecom and water.
• Offers greater flexibility in rates compared to larger firms, allowing attorneys to tailor pricing structures to client needs.
• No billable hour requirement – the firm rewards efficiency rather than time spent on matters.
• Compensation structure de-emphasizes “billing credit”, fostering internal cooperation and a collaborative work environment.
• Hybrid role - 2/3 day in office (as your schedule allows)
• The firm handles transactions and litigation for clients that range from Fortune 500 companies to successful entrepreneurs. The Firm represents a large array of banking, hedge fund, hotel, manufacturing, private equity, real estate, retail, and restaurant clients.
