OVERVIEW:
The D. E. Shaw group seeks a talented real estate attorney to join its Legal & Compliance department and counsel the firm’s renewable energy business, D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (“DESRI”). DESRI is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects across the United States that acquires, develops, owns, operates, or has contracted more than 8 gigawatts of capacity among a portfolio of over 65 renewable energy projects.

WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You’ll support all real estate matters across DESRI’s portfolio of development, construction, and operating projects, including clearing title policy and survey issues, conducting diligence and addressing environmental issues in real estate transactions, and reviewing title pro forma and surveys.

You’ll also review title reports and create title curative plans, including fatal flaw analyses on potential land purchases and projects. In addition, you may help with permitting, zoning, and land use issues with the assistance of local counsel.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Candidates should have a law degree and three to five years of relevant real estate law experience. A demonstrated record of academic achievement is required.
Well-developed writing and analytical abilities, high-quality communication and organizational skills, and keen attention to detail are essential.
Individuals with a proven ability to work with a variety of internal and external constituencies to find solutions to challenging issues will excel in this role.
Sound judgment is of great importance, as is a demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively in support of highly complex renewable energy projects.
Renewables experience is a plus but not required.
