Environmental Litigation Opportunity (DC Office): Chambers-Ranked, Wonderful Culture, Partnership Potential
Garrison has been engaged by one of our favorite law firms to assist in finding them a mid-level environmental associate for their top Chambers-ranked practice. You will have an opportunity to take on a significant role in the firm’s environmental cases and rulemaking challenges involving a wide variety of statutes including CAA, CWA, RCRA, CERCLA, NEPA, ESA, TSCA, and FIFRA (experience and familiarity with these statutes is required).
We met with one of the environmental practice leaders and believe this is a compelling opportunity for an environmental lawyer who prefers to focus on the investigation/litigation side of environmental law while still deepening their statutory experience.
