Both roles require a JD and bar admission, but the scope and level of responsibility differ significantly.

THE POSITION: Litigation Counsel

Key Responsibilities:
  • Handle all aspects of the company’s litigation and arbitration, from receipt of a prelitigation demand letter through resolution by settlement, trial, or arbitration award
  • Review and respond to pre-litigation demand letters and develop resolution strategies.
  • Personally draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, briefs, demand responses, and other litigation documents
  • Represent the company in arbitration proceedings, including those administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and JAMS, and handle all related procedural and substantive requirements
  • Conduct legal research and develop litigation strategy
  • Appear in court and at hearings as needed, including small claims matters across multiple states
  • Manage the company’s small claims matters across multiple states.
  • Engage, manage, and direct outside counsel while retaining ownership of strategy and case direction
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and reduce litigation risk.
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (compliance, operations, customer-facing teams) to gather facts, documents, and witness information needed for case handling
  • Track case status and deadline, and report on litigation portfolio status to the managing counsel
QUALIFICATIONS
  • J.D. and active law license in good standing in any U.S. state; license in California or New Jersey preferred.
  • 3-5 years of litigation experience, with substantial hands-on courtroom and arbitration experience
  • Demonstrated experience with AAA and JAMS arbitration rules and procedures
  • Strong litigation drafting skills (pleadings, motions, discovery, briefs)
  • Experience independently managing a litigation caseload from intake through resolution
  • Experience managing or directing outside counsel
  • Experience with small claims court practice across multiple jurisdictions a plus
  • Renewable energy, solar, or consumer finance industry experience preferred but not required
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage a high-volume, fast-moving docket independently
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
WORK LOCATION
This is a hybrid position based in Houston, Texas. Team members work from the office four days each week, with one remote workday per week. Candidates should be comfortable working in person and collaborating closely with colleagues across the business.
This role may also require occasional travel for court appearances, arbitrations, mediations, depositions, and other litigation-related proceedings.
BENEFITS
Spruce Power offers competitive benefits and a collaborative, purpose-driven, high-energy culture.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
We value a diverse work environment. Spruce Power is an equal opportunity employer and hires without consideration to race, religion, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status or disability.
