After a 27-year journey as a lawyer, I am happy to announce a new milestone in my career journey: as of 1 April I have accepted the role of Senior Legal Counsel at Essent Energy Infrastructure Solutions! Essent Energy Infrastructure Solutions designs, realizes and operates innovative and sustainable energy and heating systems for industry, business parks and cities. Transitioning from my role as a lawyer to this position marks a new chapter filled with anticipation, excitement, and a deep sense of purpose. I eagerly look forward to channeling my legal knowledge into the realm of sustainable energy systems, where I hope to make a tangible impact on one of the most critical issues of our time: the global energy transition. Joining Essent Energy Infrastructure Solutions presents an opportunity to align my passion for the law with a role that holds social impact. Sustainable energy solutions are not only shaping the future of our planet but also paving the way for sustainable growth and development worldwide. I am profoundly grateful to my clients, colleagues, mentors, friends and family for the unwavering support, mentorship, and opportunities that have shaped my career thus far. As I embark on this exciting journey, I am committed to leveraging my experience, expertise, and passion to drive positive change and contribute meaningfully to Essent's mission.

Here's to new beginnings, meaningful endeavors, and a future filled with endless possibilities! #NewBeginnings #EnergyTransition #LegalCounsel #DuurzameAmbitie

The hottest practice hiring right now is energy transition, and it's not even close. Lawyers are getting the largest signing bonuses here and multiple offers. After successful placements in energy transition, the firms growing the most are now turning to me for their next hire. I'm working closely with Akin, Skadden, Clifford Chance, White & Case, and Mintz on their latest hires. Why am I naming names? Because I have a strong relationship with these firms. By consulting these firms to advise them on my candidates' focus and interest, my candidates are getting interviews and offers here. The busiest hubs are DC, NYC, and Houston, in that order. Firms are hiring for the full cycle of energy transition, from EPC to project finance. These firms are primarily looking for midlevels, but junior associates are in demand as well. Other firms are looking for senior associates and counsel - the demand for energy transition talent is intense. Interested in your options? DM me to discuss. If you're in DC, let me know if you'd like to get coffee this weekend, my treat.

At Marsden we specialize in Senior and Partner level search work and one of the areas that we have particular expertise in is the Energy and Infrastructure space.   What makes us unique is we not only regularly place associates into market leading teams but we are placing partners into these teams which gives us direct access to some of the key decision makers. When we say we know the team, we really mean it.   The benefit of this for the lawyers I speak to is that I am able to provide them with a large degree of detail on the roles, the strategy of the group going forward, and most importantly - really advise as to whether I believe that individual would be a good fit for the team.   Some of the roles that we are working on currently in the space are:   💡 Energy / Project Finance | NYC, D.C., or Houston | 3rd year - Counsel We are working directly with the Global Chair of the Energy Group at this Am Law 10 firm on the buildout of the firm's Energy Group at both Partner and Associate level.     💡 Project Finance | NYC or DC | Counsel We are working closely with the hiring partner in this market leading project finance group. They have a consistent track record of making up partners organically year on year.

You've been in your job for over two years? That's unusual. I speak with a people in the energy sector all day everyday, I talk about where the industry is going and what it's like to be hands on during the development and delivery of projects. We've been collating market insights over the last year to help understand some of the challenges and help predict upcoming trends regarding the talent short market. I thought the below graph regarding median tenure was particularly interesting - here's why. Power System Engineers - No Surprises here. We've been fixing grid connection issues and adding more projects into the grid while attempting to stabilize it. There's more options and work than ever before. Commercial Managers - Increased demand for inhouse specialist talent, more contracts, more agreements and more choice of roles for this skillset. Legal Counsel - Lower than I would have thought. I would speculate that this would be similar to the commercial manager - there is more choice, and an increased demand for inhouse counsel. Do you agree?

What do you get when an engineer moves into marketing? You get someone like Allen who is passionate about bridging the gap between technical expertise and customer needs. "In 2021, I noticed sporadic inquiries about using boron compounds in lithium-ion batteries," Allen said. "Despite small demand, I saw the growth potential for our boron business due to the expanding lithium battery industry. "Recognising the pivotal role our technical marketing team could play, I dedicated myself to exploring this area further." Have you made a non-conventional career move? Let us know in the comments 👇.
