Redacted Profile EHS Headhunter Washington DC Environmental Partner Candidate EHR 22154

Environmental Partner Candidate EHR 22154

Overall JD/LLM/MBA – all top schools and top grades; admitted in several states including DC and Virginia; Lots of publications and presentations; Has about 20 years’ experience litigating environmental matters, with an emphasis on CERCLA release law and environmental issues arising from the release of hazardous substances due, in many cases to transportation (rail & water) related incidents/emergencies. Expert CERCLA reporting requirements; Some EPCRA experience. Some environmental white-collar experience. Formerly served as a criminal prosecutor, regional counsel to a federal agency with environmental responsibilities, as well as lead counsel in litigation on behalf of his ALR top 100 firm’s clients.

Portables/Conflict Has a steady $2-3MM/year in mixed litigation/counselling business, (about 60%/40% respectively) 95% of which the lawyer believes to be portable. Business was down to about $1.8M about 4 years ago due to settlement of a major piece of litigation. Counselling business is weighted toward CAA enforcement representation at EPA HQ administrative level and DOJ white collar environmental matters. Clients include major traditional O&G; oil, commercial/industrial real estate, chemical refining entities, and some representation of state regulatory agency on narrow short-term litigation matter involving mid-sized petroleum distributor.

Needs Currently practices with solid Am Law 75 firm in office far from DC. Wants to relocate to DC initially prompted consideration of a move to better serve certain national clients out of DC and to be closer to grown children that have permanently relocated to DC (son working for congressman on Hill; son starting Harvard, and daughter working in NYC); Could easily join DC office of present firm, but wants to consider options for better growing practice before doing so. Needs more Associate help than he has at present, and firm that may generate more cross-sell in transportation related environmental litigation.

Status – I just started working with this lawyer about 2 months ago. I introduced the lawyer to a client looking to add/enhance its white-collar capability in its DC office. Went to very successful initial meeting stage, and I had the candidate complete my “Preliminary LPQ” which disclosed name of the mid-sized petroleum distributor, which turned out to be smaller subsidiary of a direct competitor of a major client of the Am Law 50 firm. The lawyer recently approved my submittal to you for confidential consideration. Please let me know if it might make sense to talk further at this time.
