• Work through realistic regulatory scenarios drawn from FERC, state PUC, and ISO/RTO practice, explaining the analysis behind your conclusions.
• Identify where a question is unsettled, jurisdictionally contested, or turns on facts that change the answer.
• Review and validate work from other contributors for legal accuracy and clarity of reasoning.
• Document your reasoning clearly, so the analysis is as useful as the conclusion.
• Flag ambiguous or poorly framed scenarios to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.

• Strong relevant experience in energy and utilities regulatory practice.
• A corporate law foundation, ideally built at a Vault 100 firm.
