About Stoel Rives and the Corporate Team The Project Finance group of Stoel Rives LLP is seeking an associate attorney with 5-9 years of experience to join its Corporate Practice Group focusing on project finance, including debt and tax equity, and M&A, with an emphasis on renewable energy-related transactions. Although many members of the project finance group sit in our Seattle office, we will consider applicants to sit in any of our other offices.

The individual must have experience managing deals and teams independently. Many of our colleagues did not start their career as the “traditional project finance associate” and their diverse perspectives are valued. You are encouraged to apply even if you don’t think you have deep experience in all the activities typically associated with a senior project finance associate.

Members of our team can expect to benefit from working with clients on mid-market and larger transactions involving solar, wind and energy storage projects. Attorneys in this role often interface with colleagues across offices and practice groups and spend time on telephone and video calls with our clients. The associate in this role will independently produce client-ready documents and will work with others on complex transactions.

Skills Needed to Be Effective in This Role
We pride ourselves in forming diverse teams with a wide array of interpersonal and professional attributes. We don’t expect one human to embody all of these skills, but if you have many of these skills, and are enthusiastic to learn, we encourage you to apply.

• Experience with debt and tax equity project finance and M&A, managing deals and teams
• Enjoy the challenge of negotiating and drafting complex transactions;
• Strong intellectual curiosity and desire to understand how a project serves clients goals;
• A commitment to client service and team success;
• Ability to communicate business goals into contract language; and
• JD from an accredited university.
