A bit about us:

We are a premier, nationally recognized law firm known for our industry-leading litigation, environmental, and energy practices. Operating with an integrated team approach, our litigation group works side-by-side with a deep bench of regulatory and environmental specialists to deliver practical, highly sophisticated solutions for clients in energy, technology, manufacturing, and other heavily regulated sectors. Led by seasoned trial lawyers—including former Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys—our team is actively handling cutting-edge cases across the nation, offering team members the opportunity to take on meaningful, high-impact work from day one.

Why join us?

• Collaborative & Mentorship-Focused Culture: Work directly with nationally ranked litigators and regulatory pioneers in an environment that prioritizes team success, career development, and immediate client exposure.
• High-Profile Casework: Play a central role in complex, high-stakes matters shaping the future of energy, regulatory compliance, and environmental law.
• Comprehensive Compensation & Benefits: We offer a competitive salary and bonus structure alongside premium benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage; life insurance; a 401(k) plan; phone allowance; and generous paid time off.

Job Details

• 3–6 years of litigation experience in a law firm or agency setting. Strong general commercial or civil litigators seeking to pivot into environmental and regulatory law are fully encouraged to apply.
• Exceptional legal research, drafting, and written advocacy skills.
• Confident oral advocacy skills and strong courtroom presence.
