A renowned boutique law firm is seeking an experienced Energy Partner to join its growing energy practice. This role offers the opportunity to work with a dynamic team advising clients on complex regulatory matters, compliance issues, and proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

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.
  • Assisting with M&A transactions, project financing, and regulatory due diligence in the energy sector.
  • Collaborating with internal teams and external stakeholders to navigate regulatory challenges and policy developments.

Qualifications:

  • J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to Illinois bar.
  • Extensive experience in FERC regulatory matters, at a law firm.

  • Portable book of business of at least $500,000 required.

About the Firm & Benefits:

  • The firm has a strong focus on renewable energy, energy storage, and retail energy sectors.
  • 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.
  • Health, dental, vision, and telehealth coverage
  • Life insurance, disability coverage, and a financial wellness program
  • Low turnover rate, collaborative and supportive culture
  • Cross-selling opportunities across firm practices
