• solid academic credentials and 4 or more years of experience from a leading law firm or in-house at a comparable organization;
• excellent client communication skills;
• demonstrated experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements (EPC contracts, lease agreements, subcontractor agreements); and
