Data Center Attorneys

Job Description

Latitude is seeking attorneys with experience with data center and infrastructure projects for flexible contract opportunities with our clients. With the rise of AI, we are seeing a need for attorneys with experience supporting data center infrastructure projects or data center operations.

This is a great opportunity to join Latitude's bench of attorneys. Most of Latitude's engagements are fully remote, are flexible (i.e., can range from part-time to full-time), and provide a great opportunity to do high level legal work on your own terms. These opportunities arise with both law firms and in-house legal teams, and we work on both engagement and permanent positions from time to time.

Experience supporting procurement or commercial contracting for data center operations
Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction contracts, design-build engineering services, and related project documentation
Experience advising on financing structures, tax incentives, complex lease arrangements, permitting workstreams, easement and land use transactions, and project finance components
Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, procurement, business development, and finance teams to ensure legal terms align with technical and commercial requirements
Excellent academic credentials and outstanding references

Candidates with substantial data center experience who meet some but not all of the requirements are still encouraged to apply.
