Legal Counsel - Renewable Energy & Battery Storage (m/f/d)

In this role, you will provide legal support across our battery storage and renewable energy projects along the entire value chain – from project development through transactions and financing to operation and marketing. You will work well beyond pure legal advisory, actively shaping projects end to end.

• Independently manage and lead M&A transactions, financings, and strategic projects in the renewable energy and battery storage sector.
• Draft, review, and negotiate project contracts – including land use agreements, EPC contracts, O&M contracts, and other project-related documentation.
• Provide legal support across the full project lifecycle: from development and construction through commissioning to operation and marketing of assets.
• Collaborate across disciplines with trading, origination, project development, and asset management teams – driving projects forward together rather than just advising.
• Manage and coordinate external counsel, integrating their advice into project workflows.
• Build and develop internal processes, contract templates, and knowledge management within the legal department.
• Support due diligence reviews, fund structuring, and financing arrangements.

• Fully qualified German lawyer (Volljurist – First and Second State Exam).
• 2–3 years of professional experience, with at least part of it in the renewable energy sector.
• Ideally with experience in transactions (M&A) and project finance.
• In-depth knowledge of project contracts (land use agreements, land registry matters, EPC contracts), energy law, and/or fund structuring is a plus.
• Excellent command of German (native level) and English (business fluent) – confident in both languages, written and spoken.
• Comfortable with AI-assisted work – you use tools like Claude or ChatGPT routinely and with appropriate diligence in your daily practice.
• Structured, proactive, and solution-oriented approach – you think beyond pure legal advice and want to build processes and shape projects holistically.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for taking ownership in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.
