We are looking to hire several attorneys across a range of experience levels:
- Attorney (two openings) (Washington, DC; New York City; San Francisco; Santa Monica; or Chicago)
To give some background, the NRDC Litigation Team is a group of approximately 30 lawyers and 8 assistants who pursue litigation across a broad range of environmental and public health issues, often in collaboration with and on behalf of communities most impacted by environmental injustices (including Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and low-income and rural communities). Our recent work has included cases to protect the people of Newark, New Jersey and Flint, Michigan, from lead in drinking water; to remediate toxic pollution in the Penobscot River in Maine; and to abate mold in New York City public housing for residents with asthma. We are also proud of our record resisting the Trump Administration’s efforts to dismantle environmental protections. In the past few years, the Litigation Team filed about 91 lawsuits against the administration and won 90 percent of those that have been resolved.
We are primarily seeking litigators to join our team; it’s less essential to us that a candidate has environmental experience, and more important that they have an interest in litigation and a commitment to creating a more equitable and just world.
