A leading independent power producer (IPP) in the renewable energy sector is seeking a Real Estate Counsel to play a key role in the development and management of our growing portfolio of solar, wind, and energy storage projects.

As our client continues to expand, securing and optimizing real estate assets is essential to their success.

  • Work closely with landowners, developers, and external counsel to secure land rights necessary for project development.

Title & Land Due Diligence:

  • Conduct and review title research, coordinate with title companies, and resolve encumbrances or defects to ensure clean site control.
  • Oversee title insurance policies and work with surveyors, consultants, and outside counsel to address title and survey matters.
  • Manage curative work, including obtaining releases, affidavits, and corrective documents to clear title issues that could impact project financing or development.

Project Financing & Risk Management:

  • Assist in preparing real estate documentation for project financing, ensuring land title and leasehold interests align with lender and investor requirements.
  • Identify and mitigate risks related to real estate transactions, including landowner disputes, access rights, and encumbrances.

Qualifications

  • J.D. degree and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 5+ years of experience in real estate law, with a focus on land transactions, title review, and curative work.
  • Strong contract negotiation and drafting skills.
