Environment Enforcement Section
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: ENRD-21-038-EXC
Application Deadline: July 23, 2021
Regardless of the stage of their careers, EES attorneys enjoy a diverse caseload that allows for continuing development and new challenges. Our attorneys handle all aspects of affirmative civil litigation, including case development, electronic discovery, motions practice, complex settlement negotiations, and trials. Our practice includes cases of national scope that typically involve significant factual and expert discovery and pre-trial motions.
The affirmative nature of EES cases requires attorneys to advance cases through negotiations and all stages of litigation, beginning with the internal deliberations of the government, especially with other federal agencies, and continuing through extensive discovery and litigation to judgment. EES attorneys frequently negotiate settlements involving complex and technical injunctive relief and payment of civil penalties, while simultaneously preparing a case for trial. These responsibilities require outstanding communication skills, both oral and written, and the ability to collaborate with DOJ and agency colleagues to achieve the best outcome for the United States.
