What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax - Energy/Climate (Senior) position at Advocates Legal Recruiting?
Energy Tax Associate or Counsel | Tax Equity and Clean Energy
Our AmLaw 100 client is hiring a senior associate or counsel into its energy and climate solutions platform. This is a sponsor-facing tax role inside a nationally recognized renewables and energy transition practice with meaningful depth in project finance, tax credit transactions, and emerging climate technologies.
You would step into work that sits at the center of clean energy financing: tax equity partnership deals, inverted lease and sale-leaseback structures, equipment safe harbor matters, tax credit transfer transactions, and substantive federal tax credit advice. The practice spans wind, solar, storage, geothermal, nuclear, advanced manufacturing, EV charging, carbon capture, and other next-generation energy infrastructure. This role is open across San Francisco, New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
Just as important, this seat offers direct access to the head of the energy tax team, real client contact, and room to run deals instead of staying buried in support work. The firm also points to formal professional development and career coaching resources for associates and counsel, which matters in a practice where technical growth and deal judgment both count.
Compensation is set at $390,000 to $435,000, based on class year, with discretionary merit bonus eligibility.
Salary : $390,000 - $435,000
