What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post-Clerkship Associate – Infrastructure, Transportation & Environmental Law position at Primeline Solutions LLC?
Full-Time | Hybrid – 3 Days In-Office (Denver, New York, San Francisco, or Washington D.C.)
Salary: $159K–$180K | Start Date: Fall 2026 | Clerkship Completing in 2026 Required
Who This Is For
Your clerkship sharpened you. You've written opinions, spotted issues that BigLaw associates miss, and learned how courts actually think. Now you want to put that to work on something that matters — infrastructure, airports, transit, renewable energy, tribal law, environmental protection, land use. You're not chasing a lockstep salary. You're chasing meaningful work at the intersection of law, policy, and public impact.
What You'll Do
Billable target: 1,600 hours/year — one of the lowest in private practice. Accessibility bonus for hours above target. Hybrid: 3 days in-office, 2 remote. At least one interview round conducted in person. 30% partner ratio; promote-from-within culture. This is not a BigLaw salary-match role — it is a mission-driven one. No visa sponsorship.
