  • Think creatively to solve client problems, and write persuasively about relevant case law, legislation, and other legal texts to advance their interests.
  • Advise clients on regulatory compliance, such as reliability standards, Regional Transmission Organization requirements, obligations under the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act, on hydropower licensing and regulation, and on antitrust law issues.
  • Represent clients as needed at meetings, settlement proceedings, hearings, and trials.
  • Gain familiarity with industry developments related to the firm’s practice areas and remain abreast of changes to legislation.

  • Federal hydropower licensing and regulation; or
  • Federal Communication Commission developments, including regulations on telecommunications siting, broadband deployment, and cable franchising.

Along with a collegial environment, the firm offers opportunities to assumesubstantive responsibilities from the outset, competitive compensation with merit bonus potential, and an excellent benefits package. Our office is Metro-accessible. In addition, we welcome flexible inoffice working arrangements, though ideally would like the successful candidate ultimately to be on-site at least 2-3 days a week.

In accordance with the Wage Transparency Omnibus Amendment Act, the expected salary range for this DC position is between $130,000 and $170,000. Actual pay will be adjusted based on experience and job-related factors as permitted by law.
