As Legal Counsel for Real Estate and Development, you provide legal support across the company's Data Center and Energy Infrastructure portfolio. This is a hands-on, high-volume role focused on the front end of the development lifecycle: site control, diligence, and deal execution. You work directly with development, operations, asset management, energy origination, and strategic financing teams, serving as their primary legal counterpart.

What you'll do

• Draft, review, and negotiate letters of intent, land options, purchase agreements, easements, access agreements, tax abatement agreements, shared facilities agreements, construction contracts, long lead equipment procurement agreements, costs in aid of construction agreements, interconnection agreements, and other ancillary development documents.
• Provide legal support on project finance and real estate loan transactions, including loan documents, infrastructure agreements, power-related agreements, and leases with data center end users.
• Manage the documentation lifecycle for data center development and energy infrastructure projects, ensuring all agreements are executed with precision and align with strategic objectives.
• Act as the primary legal liaison for development, operations, asset management, energy origination, and strategic financing teams.
• Coordinate with outside counsel, title agents, surveyors, and environmental consultants to ensure every site is thoroughly vetted and prepared for commercialization.
• Conduct and coordinate legal due diligence, including review of title commitments, ALTA surveys, environmental reports, and zoning analyses.

What you bring

• Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. State and membership in good standing with one U.S. Bar.
• 3+ years of experience in commercial real estate, infrastructure, or energy law, with a focus on land acquisition, site control, and transactional diligence.
• A proven track record drafting and negotiating front-end real estate documents: letters of intent, purchase options, purchase and sale agreements, easements, and access agreements.
• Experience coordinating with title companies, surveyors, and environmental consultants on large-scale land or infrastructure transactions.
• A rigorous, detail-oriented approach to reviewing title, survey, environmental, and zoning reports for large-scale infrastructure or energy projects.
• Ability to manage high-volume document workflows, track critical deadlines, and maintain strict version control across multiple simultaneous site acquisitions.
• A strategic mindset with a practical, business-oriented approach to legal issues.
• Comfort working directly with non-legal teams and translating complex legal issues into clear guidance that informs commercial decisions.

Nice to have
