Careers
Lateral Associates:
We are interested in qualified professionals who will contribute to the Firm’s success. We believe that a variety of backgrounds and skills contribute to a collaborative environment that best meets the diverse needs of our clients. In addition to top academic and professional credentials, we look for applicants who are hard-working, creative, and able to work independently on a variety of matters.
Our attorneys thrive on the challenging and often cutting-edge environmental matters that we handle. Associates benefit from our small size by working closely with all of our principals and with each other. Associates are exposed to a wide variety of matters within the Firm’s practice areas and take on a great degree of responsibility. Associates also participate in writing, marketing, and recruiting.
Along with a competitive salary, we offer employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes a 401k retirement savings plan, profit sharing, flexible spending accounts for medical and dependent care, and health, dental, and life insurance.

Summer Program:
Our summer program attracts exceptional law students from across the country and provides an opportunity to experience the full range of our diverse practice areas. Summer associates are treated like full-time associates and are given the opportunity to work on an assortment of matters with different attorneys throughout the summer. Typical assignments for summer associates may include drafting portions of legal briefs and pleadings; conducting legal research and drafting research memoranda; attending court conferences, oral arguments, and administrative hearings; and writing about environmental law developments for the Firm’s blog. Our emphasis on active learning and full participation gives summer associates the advantage of concrete, practical experience.
A number of social events are also held to provide summer associates with opportunities to become better acquainted with each other, our attorneys, and the community in which we practice.
