We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Overview, Who We Are, Who You Are, Own Your MoFo Career, What We Offer, Inquiries. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting does not have explicit "Responsibilities" heading, but we can infer responsibilities from "Who You Are" etc. However we must not invent headings that aren't present. The instruction: "use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting does not have explicit "Responsibilities" heading, but we can infer responsibilities from "Who You Are" etc. However we must not invent headings that aren't present. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings if appropriate. But also: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we need to map content to these headings if they exist. The posting includes: Overview (maybe About the role), Who We Are (maybe About the firm), Who You Are (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills), Own Your MoFo Career (maybe Benefits? Actually career development), What We Offer (Benefits), Inquiries (contact). Pay is present: salary ranges. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we can include Pay section with salary ranges. Benefits section with What We Offer. Responsibilities? Not explicit; maybe we can treat "Who You Are" as Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. Could split into Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education?), Skills (communication, business sense). But we must not invent content. We can create a - list for requirements/qualifications/skills based on the bullet-like sentences in Who You Are. That's acceptable as it's substantive.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: Inquiries contact line maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's contact info. But "Inquiries For questions regarding this position, please contact..." is specific contact; we can keep as a
. However we might treat as part of "Contact" but not a required heading. Could just put as a
after sections.
We must not include EEO etc. The posting includes "We will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories..." that's EEO/boilerplate? It's a statement about fair chance; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is EEO/fair chance; likely remove. Also "Morrison Foerster accepts applications..." is application instructions; remove. Also "Where required by law, salary ranges are stated below..." is legal; maybe remove? But salary ranges are needed for Pay section; we can keep the ranges but discard the surrounding legal text. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The legal text around salary ranges is not substantive? It's explanatory; maybe we can keep it as part of Pay section? It's not boilerplate exactly but it's legal disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate; but we need to keep the salary ranges themselves. We can extract the ranges and put them in Pay section, discarding the explanatory sentence.
Similarly "Additional compensation may include a discretionary bonus, health/welfare benefits..." is part of benefits; we can incorporate into Benefits section.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.

About the role
MoFo is a destination law firm for talented, ambitious attorneys who value collaboration, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. We are known around the world not only for delivering innovative yet practical client service but also for serving as an incubator for our top-notch talent. MoFo consistently receives top-tier rankings from leading directories and publications, speaking to our legal capabilities, dedication to creating an inclusive workplace, and commitment to our communities.
Maybe that's too generic but it's from Overview and Who We Are. Could combine.
Better: About the role: maybe we can summarize the role: advising data center developers, hyperscalers, large energy users, digital infrastructure, co-located generation, large-scale energy procurement, regulatory proceedings before FERC, state PUCs, appellate courts. That's from Who You Are. But that is more responsibilities/requirements.
We could have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Let's extract:
Responsibilities: advising data center developers, hyperscalers, large energy users; advising on digital infrastructure, co-located generation, large-scale energy procurement; handling regulatory proceedings before FERC, state public utility commissions, appellate courts; managing internal and external client and counsel relationships; communicating complex matters orally and in writing; delivering excellent client service; entrepreneurial, innovative, forward thinking; solving business and legal problems; taking on increased responsibility for transactions.
Requirements: 3-6+ years of significant law firm experience in energy regulatory law, power markets, infrastructure transactions, or related energy matters; experience advising data center developers, hyperscalers, or large energy users; experience with digital infrastructure, co-located generation, or large-scale energy procurement; experience with regulatory proceedings before FERC, state PUCs, appellate courts preferred but not required.
Qualifications: maybe law degree? Not mentioned. Could skip Qualifications if not present.
Skills: proactive, strong business sense, ability to manage relationships, ability to concisely and effectively communicate complex matters oral/written, commitment to excellent client service, entrepreneurial, innovative, forward thinking, excellent business and legal problem-solving skills and judgement, strong work ethic, team player attitude, action-oriented interest in taking on increased levels of responsibility.
Benefits: variety of medical, dental, vision, life, disability coverage; industry-leading parental leave and family benefits including adoption and fertility treatment options, backup child and elder care; tax free health accounts: HSA and FSA; 401(k) or Roth 401(k); global wellness program including free access to health care advocates, Employee Assistance Program, Talkspace, Calm apps; Flex Time Away and reduced schedule arrangements; paid annual fees for primary state bar registration, up to two professional associations (additional bar memberships may be approved case-by-case); dedicated in-house pro bono counsel; matching gift programs for law school and charitable organization donations.
Pay: salary ranges: Austin, TX $260,000 to $390,000; Denver, CO $260,000 to $390,000; New York, NY $260,000 to $390,000; San Francisco, CA $260,000 to $390,000; Washington, DC $260,000 to $390,000. Additional compensation may include discretionary bonus.
Schedule: Not mentioned, so omit.
We also have "Own Your MoFo Career" describing career development programs: MyMoFo, MoFo Navigate, MoFo NEXT. Could be part of Benefits or a separate section like "Career Development". But not in the list of allowed headings. Could incorporate into Benefits? Might be considered part of Benefits (career advancement). But we could add a section "Career Development" but not allowed headings list; but we could still use for any heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map career development into Benefits or maybe into About the role? Probably Benefits includes career development? Not exactly. Could add a separate section "Career Development" but risk being considered not allowed. Safer to incorporate into Benefits as part of what we offer.
Thus Benefits section will include all What We Offer plus career development programs.
Now we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No job title given.
We must not include metadata like Job ID.
We must output only HTML fragment.
