Associate Counselor Jobs in Georgetown, TX (NOW HIRING)

Austin, TX (In-Office) | Full-Time | Salaried, Exempt

Most junior attorneys spend years doing document review before anyone trusts them with real work. Here, you'll be in the room from day one — learning directly from leadership, on matters that actually matter.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As Associate Counsel, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with our Legal leadership team across contracts, disputes, compliance, and corporate matters — building the exact skill set that turns a Junior Counsel into a Senior Counsel. This isn't a role where you get parked on one narrow lane of work for years. You'll rotate through transactional drafting, dispute resolution, lien compliance, vendor onboarding, and strategic projects, with leadership actively investing in your growth at every step. If you're looking for a legal career with a visible, achievable next step — this is it.

Associate Counsel at Freedom Power isn't a holding pattern — it's the first rung on a defined ladder. You'll work directly alongside our legal leadership team, who are invested in mentoring you toward Senior Counsel and beyond. Expect regular feedback, real ownership of matters (not just busywork), and exposure to the kind of cross-functional strategic work that's usually reserved for much more senior attorneys. As you build expertise in energy, construction, and consumer law, you'll take on more autonomy, more complex matters, and a bigger seat at the table.
