We have participated in more than 4.5 GW of renewable energy projects in Europe, America, and Asia, covering all phases of the life cycle: development, engineering, construction, operation, and maintenance. Additionally, our IPP model allows us to drive and manage our own assets in strategic markets.

In this context, your main responsibilities will be:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts linked to renewable projects: EPC, O&M, PPA, SPA, JV, supplies, construction, and leases, among others.

  • Provide continuous legal support to the Investment and Development area, including M&A operations.

  • Advise on complex contractual structures and project finance operations.

  • Provide legal support to Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Operations, in coordination with the contract management and project management teams.

  • Manage the contractual monitoring of projects in execution, including claims, breaches, and the protection mechanisms provided for in the project documentation and applicable legislation.

  • Identify, analyze, and mitigate legal risks of the projects.

  • Manage and follow up on administrative files, coordinating actions before public bodies and third parties.
