Energy and Utilities Regulatory Attorney

The Work

  • Assess scenarios connected to FERC, state public utility commissions, and ISO/RTO practice.
  • Identify unsettled issues, jurisdictional conflicts, and facts that could change the outcome.
  • Review and validate other contributors’ work for legal accuracy and clear reasoning.
  • Document your analysis so the reasoning is useful as well as the conclusion.
  • Flag ambiguous or poorly framed scenarios for further review.
  • Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
