Exclusive Environmental Litigation Opportunity: Chambers-Ranked, Wonderful Culture, Partnership Potential
Garrison has been exclusively engaged by a Chambers Ranked environmental practice of a DC-based AmLaw firm, who is eager to add a mid-level litigator to their thriving group. This opportunity would allow you use your litigation background to specialize in environmental law and gain exposure across all major environmental acts (CAA, CWA, RCRA, CERCLA, NEPA, ESA, TSCA, FIFRA, and more) doing mostly environmental litigation and investigations.
Environmental experience is NOT required.
Practice Differentiators:
Culture: This firm is considered to be a Washington, DC gold standard for its atmosphere. For decades, the firm has been known to be friendly, compassionate and welcoming to all. They recruit carefully and place an emphasis on personality.
The Group: This is a large, full-service environmental practice with numerous investigatory and litigation matters. They are a government-facing practice with a significant number of partners having high-level EPA and DOJ experience. Their client list consists of a “who’s who” of Fortune 500 companies. We placed a litigation associate from a top firm in the group earlier this year and they are thriving.
Strong Advancement Potential: Our client has a strong track record of advancing associates, and this hire is being made with the intention of preparing this person for partnership. All but one of their partners and counsels are former laterals.
Hours/Compensation: The firms offer a variety of hours-based salary options that can bring you to about 90%+ of the Cravath scale. Associates average 1,900-2,000 hours in the group (which includes credit for pro bono and DEI efforts).
Requirements: Three to five years of any type of litigation or environmental litigation experience at an AmLaw 200 firm or prestigious boutique. Honors from law school highly preferred.
This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to move from a litigation department and into an environmental group
