  • Advise on legal and contractual risk associated with commodity trading activities, including credit risk, collateral structures, netting, close-out, and default provisions
  • Partner closely with commercial, risk, credit, and operations teams to ensure transactions are executable, enforceable, and aligned with MEMS' risk appetite
  • Interpret and apply applicable regulatory and compliance requirements impacting energy MEMS marketing and trading activities, escalating issues as appropriate
  • Manage and supervise MEMS Legal support staff (i.e., paralegals), including assignment of work, review of deliverables, and development of team capabilities
  • Coordinate and manage external counsel on specialized or non-routine matters, including regulatory, compliance and/or dispute-related issues, while retaining ownership of legal strategy and outcomes
  • Support internal stakeholders by developing and maintaining standard form agreements, playbooks, and internal guidance tailored to MEMS' trading activities

REQUIRED EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE & SKILLS:
  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited U.S. law school
  • Active license (and in good standing) with the Texas State Bar
  • Minimum of 7-10 years of relevant legal experience, with a strong preference for in-house or law firm experience supporting energy, commodities, or complex commercial transactions
  • Experience as a legal counsel in a business environment
  • Experience advising trading, marketing, or commercial teams in a fast-paced transactional environment
  • General working knowledge of corporate law and procedures
  • Refined interpersonal verbal and written communication skills, including written, telephonic and electronic communication skills
  • Experience using A.I. is preferred
  • Ability to work independently with little to no supervision on routine matters

LANGUAGE SKILLS:
  • Fluent verbal and written skills in English
