Environmental Senior Lawyer / 8+ yrs. / Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Antonio, San Francisco, or Washington, D.C.
We are working with a top-tier AmLaw firm seeking a highly experienced Environmental Senior Lawyer with 8+ years of experience to join its nationally recognized Environmental & Mass Tort team. This is an exciting opportunity for an attorney passionate about the intersection of environmental law, infrastructure, renewable energy, and complex project finance. The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge of U.S. federal and state environmental regulations, along with a strong background in permitting (air, water, wetlands, UIC, offshore), NEPA and CEQA reviews, site remediation (CERCLA, RCRA), and environmental risk allocation in project finance and M&A. Experience advising developers, sponsors, and lenders on utility-scale renewable energy and power development projects is especially valued. Familiarity with environmental reports (e.g., Phase I/II ESAs), land use and endangered species law, and emerging areas like carbon markets and CCS is a plus. While the role can be based in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Antonio, San Francisco, or Washington, D.C., preference will be given to candidates with ties to Texas or California. This is a rare opportunity to work on high-impact projects at the forefront of the energy transition. Starting salary range has not yet been released. Firm historically has a highly competitive salary range as well as generous benefits and bonus structure.
