Senior FERC Attorney

Senior FERC Attorney

Are you a skilled energy attorney ready to make a meaningful impact in the regulatory space? Join a respected Midwest-based electric utility committed to innovation, reliability, and service. Our client is looking to grow its legal team with a Senior FERC Attorney who will play a vital role in shaping transmission and market strategy at the federal level.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Make an Impact: Represent one of the region’s largest utilities in high-stakes regulatory matters before FERC and appellate tribunals.
• Grow With Us: Expand your expertise in federal utility regulation and work alongside respected professionals in the energy sector.
• Collaborative Culture: Work cross-functionally with legal, regulatory, and business teams in a collegial, team-oriented environment.
• Competitive Package: Strong compensation and benefits, with room to grow professionally.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Advise on and manage legal issues involving FERC, with a focus on PJM and other RTOs, including litigation and regulatory proceedings.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to internal stakeholders, offering legal and business guidance.
• Coordinate and manage work with outside counsel, consultants, and internal teams.
• Conduct legal research and analysis on administrative law, regulatory rules, and appellate matters.
• Navigate proceedings under the Administrative Procedure Act and related regulations.

What We’re Looking For

• J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing (any state).
• 7–10 years of litigation or regulatory experience; FERC experience strongly preferred.
• Deep familiarity with the Administrative Procedure Act and regulatory agency processes.
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with a collaborative mindset.

Experience with state utility regulatory matters is a plus.
