  • Provide day-to-day advice to management on a full spectrum of contractual and transactional matters relating to BlueWave’s business.
  • Manage external project finance and M&A counsel, and external counsel involved in providing legal and regulatory advice with respect to policy interpretation, tax matters, business transactions and compliance matters.
  • Monitor and maintain current knowledge of industry trends in legal and compliance matters relating to the renewable energy industry, including the IRA and related regulations, and pursuing ongoing professional development to maintain current knowledge on best practices.
  • Assist in monitoring and interpreting legal developments, legislative changes, changes to the ITC, including interpretation of guidance, new laws, existing laws, and legal rights in the solar and battery energy storage industries, particularly in relation to the renewable energy incentive programs and tax equity finance.

  • Overall experience and broad legal knowledge in the field of debt and tax equity transactions and M&A transactions.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead deals and provide business-oriented legal advice and recommendations.
  • Excellent business judgment and appropriate decision-making ability.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills combined with attention to detail and thoroughness.
  • Proven ability to “roll up” your sleeves and get involved at a detailed level.
  • Strong communication skills; ability to present clear and practical legal arguments.
  • Ability to influence others and to gain support for their ideas.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and a capacity to build strong working relationships across the organization.
  • Ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and to adapt quickly to changing priorities.
