Are you looking for an in-house position with a forward-thinking company at the forefront of renewable energy innovation, dedicated to advancing projects that power a sustainable future? Do you have “dirt lawyer” experience negotiating purchase options and doing title survey diligence and a desire to join a Legal Department where you can work on early-stage real estate development and play a pivotal role in managing the real estate functions critical to the company’s growth? If so, Latitude may have just the role for you.
