We are seeking an environmental litigation associate to join a sophisticated practice in Washington, D.C. The role focuses on federal environmental litigation (civil matters preferred), with meaningful exposure to complex and technical regulatory schemes and the enforcement approaches used by federal agencies and the U.S. Department of Justice.

The ideal candidate brings government-side enforcement experience related to environmental or similar issues, a strong foundation in environmental and administrative law concepts, and the ability to analyze intricate regulatory frameworks. The position offers direct client contact and calls for independence, initiative, and the capacity to manage and complete projects with minimal direct supervision.

We are looking for self-starters with strong academic credentials and excellent research and writing skills. A genuine interest in the work matters more to us than a particular class year, and candidates outside the anticipated range are encouraged to apply.
