Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, a prestigious law firm, has taken steps to strengthen their environmental practice through the addition of a new partner, previously a high-ranking environmental attorney with significant experience in the public and private sectors.
The partner added to their legal team has had a formidable career of over a decade, with a marked focus on the field of environmental law. Their experience ranges from providing corporate sustainability strategy advice to Volkswagen, to exercising oversight over Superfund site cleanups while employed with the Environmental Protection Agency.
This unique breadth of experience, spanning both corporate and environmental sectors, puts Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP in a position to further their environmental practice goals, bringing significant insight from diverse areas of practice.
This move seems reflective of a larger trend within major law firms, acknowledging the important intersect between corporate law and environmental regulations. A deep understanding of these two areas, demonstrated by the new partner’s diverse career, is becoming increasingly valuable in the current legal environment.
