Job Details

We are seeking a talented Environmental Associate Attorney with 3-6 years of experience to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity to work on federal and state-level environmental regulatory matters alongside a dynamic and growing practice group.

Role Focus

This position centers on environmental, health, and safety matters, with an emphasis on:

Regulatory Compliance and Counseling: Advising clients on federal and state regulatory frameworks, including environmental laws, health and safety standards, and industry-specific regulations.
Environmental Litigation: Representing clients in disputes involving environmental laws, such as CERCLA, RCRA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and others. Litigation will focus on environmental issues rather than local land use or zoning disputes.
Transactional Support: Conducting environmental due diligence and advising on compliance risks in mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions.
Permitting and Remediation: Guiding clients through complex permitting processes and remedial action plans to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
Regulatory Enforcement Defense: Representing clients in enforcement actions and investigations initiated by federal and state agencies.

Preferred Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with the following:

Experience: A background in environmental litigation, regulatory compliance, or general litigation with an environmental focus. Experience with energy-related matters is a plus but not required.
Skills: Exceptional analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with a strong ability to manage complex legal issues.
Knowledge: Familiarity with federal and state environmental statutes, regulations, and permitting frameworks.
Academic Credentials: Strong academic performance, showcasing a commitment to excellence.
Collaboration: Ability to work seamlessly across practice groups and provide superior client service.
