Job description

The Energy & Infrastructure Projects group is seeking mid to senior level associates/counsel with at least 3 plus years of law firm experience (class of 2023 and above) to join the team in either Houston, New York, Washington, D.C. or Toronto offices. Strong financing experience is required. Ideal candidate will have experience with debt and tax equity financings, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and project development transactions involving energy and infrastructure projects. A successful candidate must hold a high level of academic achievement and a passion for providing high quality work product and service to our clients.

Associates who join Skadden laterally participate in an enhanced mentor program, which specifically focuses on the unique needs experienced attorneys face during professional transitions.

These efforts, along with our professional development and other Skadden benefits, including a hybrid work model, offer a dynamic environment where all can shape their own career trajectories while contributing to groundbreaking legal work. We also have an extensive pro bono program that allows attorneys to devote, and receive credit for, time for myriad causes that spark their interests and matches those interests with the legal needs in the community.

Our current hybrid work model consists of working Monday through Thursday in the office. Attorneys also receive the opportunity to work remotely for specified periods throughout the year.

The starting base salary for this position is expected to be between $260,000 to $455,000 annually. Actual salary will be determined based on skills, experience (to the extent relevant) and other job-related factors, consistent with applicable law. This position may be eligible for a discretionary year-end bonus.
