Our team of experienced lawyers has built a strong and loyal client base, and we continue to push the boundaries of renewable, sustainable, and green projects, technologies, and services. We also work with conventional energy producers as they transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources.

- Real mentorship and training from experienced partners who are invested in your professional growth.
- A three-tiered career progression approach designed to prepare you for partnership if that is your goal.
- Frequent feedback and clearly defined core competencies and benchmarks to help you excel in your role.

While experience in the renewable energy industry and with power purchase agreements, company or asset purchase and sale agreements, hedge contacts, equipment supply contracts, construction contracts, or similar agreements is preferred, it is not required.
