Interim Energy Sanctions/Compliance Attorney - Houston (Westside)

Legalpeople

We’re partnering with a leading energy company in its search for a qualified attorney to support its Legal & Compliance function on an interim basis. This role is focused primarily on sanctions compliance within the energy sector — including issues related to oil transport, sanctioned vessels, and international trade — as well as anti-bribery/anti-corruption matters (FCPA). The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of U.S. and UK sanctions regimes and thrives in a fast-paced, commercial environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Sanctions

  • Stay abreast of and update the business regarding changing sanctions landscape (i.e., issuance or withdrawal of sanctions, issuance or withdrawal of General/Specific Licenses). This includes both US (Office of Foreign Asset Control) and UK (Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation).
  • Advise commercial business and trade floor from a legal-sanctions perspective regarding the details/structure of particular business opportunities.

Antiboycott

  • Review clauses received from counterparties to determine whether they are proscribed/reportable antiboycott clauses.
  • Review information provided by BU quarterly to determine whether clauses should be included in the Bureau of Industry Security report; review such report.

General

  • Review the Company’s responses to Know Your Client ("KYC") requests from a legal/compliance perspective.
  • Assist with various reporting requirements from a Compliance perspective.
  • Review compliance clauses in a wide variety of contracts from a Compliance - FCPA/Antiboycott/Sanctions/conflict of interest perspective.
  • Review and assist with training and presentations regarding compliance issues.
  • Assist import/export team and Marine team regarding various issues related to sanctions and customs/trade laws (sanctioned vessels, duty drawbacks, etc.)

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Experience in sanctions compliance, ideally within the energy sector
  • Familiarity with OFAC and OFSI sanctions frameworks
  • Knowledge of antiboycott regulations (EAR/BIS) and FCPA/anti-bribery requirements
  • Prior exposure to trade floor or commercial advisory work is a plus
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate complex compliance issues clearly to business stakeholders
  • J.D. and active license in good standing to practice law in the U.S.

LOGISTICS:

  • Start Date: ASAP (after interviews, candidate selection and onboarding)
  • Anticipated Duration: 2–3 months
  • Hours: 24 hours/week; full-time candidates will also be considered
  • Work Location: 2-3 days/week onsite at the Company’s offices in Houston, TX (Westside)
  • Compensation: Competitive Hourly Rate, W-2 through Legalpeople
