Construction Attorney
Hydrogen Group
Law clerk job in Houston, TX
Attorney | Construction & EPC | Houston
Elite Energy & Infrastructure Platform | 3+ Years Experience
Your name on the draft means your name on the partnership track.
Most construction roles keep you reviewing someone else's work. This one makes you the lead drafter on billion-dollar EPC agreements.
You'll negotiate directly with contractors and lenders. You'll own client relationships from day one. You'll build the technical reputation and origination credit that drive partnership decisions.
The platform is meritocratic. Your work quality and client development drive advancement, not politics or seniority.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING AND WHY IT MATTERS:
You'll become the lawyer clients call first by drafting and negotiating EPC agreements, construction contracts, and long-term service agreements from scratch. Master complex construction documentation and you become indispensable on major deals.
You'll expand your value beyond pure transactional work by handling construction disputes and project administration. Problem-solving experience matters for partnership consideration.
You'll build relationships on both sides of deals by drafting bankability reports for lenders. Sponsor-side and lender-side credibility accelerates your practice development.
You'll demonstrate team-building capability by managing junior associates. Partnership committees track this directly.
You'll earn origination credit by maintaining direct client contact throughout multi-year projects. Sustained relationships convert to portable business.
You'll develop a practice you can take anywhere by seeing deals through from pitch to close. End-to-end transaction ownership builds real expertise.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
4+ years with construction documentation, specifically EPC, EPCM, or construction management agreements. Strong drafting ability matters most.
You should handle technical specifications and work effectively with engineering teams on complex, large-scale projects.
JD (or LLM/foreign equivalent) from a top-tier law school.
New York bar admission or immediate eligibility.
Engineering or construction management background helps significantly.
Spanish fluency is useful for Latin America projects.
If you're a general transactional lawyer exploring construction, this isn't the right move.
WHY THIS PLATFORM
You'll accelerate your technical development by working with recognized construction practitioners on major infrastructure projects.
Multi-year deals mean deep client relationships instead of transactional churn.
The firm promotes on performance and client development, giving you a clear merit-based path.
You'll access multidisciplinary teams when deals need M&A, Capital Markets, or Regulatory expertise.
You're building a construction law practice with institutional backing.
TAKE ACTION NOW
If your experience fits, don't wait. Let's have a conversation this week about your next move.
What I need from you:
Current resume
Deal sheet covering your construction and EPC experience
