About the Role

Energy Legal Counsel

The Opportunity

If you're ready to advise on renewable energy projects from first development through to repowering, without waiting for sign-off on every point, this could be your next move.

You'll take ownership of legal matters across the full project lifecycle, working directly on the contracts, M&A activity and corporate structuring behind live wind energy projects.

The Role

  • Advise independently on legal matters across development, realisation, operation and repowering of wind energy projects.
  • Draft, review and negotiate contracts, including purchase, usage and loan agreements.
  • Support M&A transactions in renewables: company and project acquisitions, due diligence and transaction documentation.
  • Advise on corporate law matters, including articles of association, shareholder agreements and capital measures.

The Company

You'll be joining a business operating across the full lifecycle of wind energy projects, from early development through to repowering. The work spans contract law, planning and environmental law, and M&A, giving you exposure to both the commercial and legal side of the energy transition.

What You'll Need

  • Fully qualified German lawyer, having completed both state exams (Zweites Staatsexamen).
  • Professional experience as an in-house lawyer or attorney, with a solid grounding in contract and commercial law.
