LAW CLERKSHIPS

Description

 Accepting Applications through September 15, 2026

We are looking for highly motivated, creative, and collaborative law students to join our projects-oriented law firm for the Fall Semester 2026, Spring Semester 2027, or Summer 2027.  Applicants currently must be in their second year of law school.

We are a fast-growing national boutique law firm devoted exclusively to helping clients solve problems involving the nation’s most complex and high-profile projects in environmental, conservation, real estate, land use, infrastructure, project financing, airports, rail, transit, tribal, and renewable energy law.  While the Firm is organized into these primary practice areas, we pride ourselves on complex, collaborative work, and law clerks will regularly work with colleagues across all of our practice areas and with attorneys from all of our offices.  

Founded in 2003 to provide an alternative to the “business of law as usual,” our Firm’s focus remains on our colleagues as well as our clients.  We believe that when you get to work with a great team, make meaningful contributions, and pursue a fulfilling career without hindering personal life responsibilities and choices, your professional life becomes more enjoyable and gratifying.  The work we do is rewarding, and we are tremendously proud of the superior services our team is able to provide to our public, non-profit, tribal, and private sector clients.

Our law clerks are key members of the Firm, engaging in various types of substantive legal work on matters across the country while gaining valuable experience, training, and insight into the legal profession. Clerks are integrated into the Firm from day one through our mentoring program and are strongly encouraged to participate in our weekly practice area meetings and other Firm events. 

Requirements

Position details:  Our law clerks can work at one of the Firm’s offices in Denver, San Francisco, Washington D.C., or New York. We expect our Fall and Spring Semester clerks to work 15 to 20 hours a week and our Summer clerks to work 40 hours a week.  This position will be paid an hourly rate of $50.00 per hour. 

The Firm is actively committed to fostering the principles of diversity, inclusion, and equal employment opportunity. We do not discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of age, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sex, sexual orientation, sexual identity, disability, marital status, military status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
