Post-Clerkship Associate – Infrastructure, Transportation & Environmental Law

Primeline Solutions LLC
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 5/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/10/2026
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

  • Draft briefs, pleadings, and motions at the trial and appellate level across the firm's core practice areas — airports, rail/transit, land use, energy, environmental, and tribal law
  • Research and write legal memoranda supporting litigation strategy on complex regulatory and infrastructure matters
  • Prepare witnesses for depositions, hearings, and trial — including outlining direct and cross-examinations
  • Manage discovery processes: drafting requests and responses, maintaining privilege logs, addressing evidentiary issues
  • Contribute to pro bono matters (unlimited approved hours count toward your total)
  • Work directly with partners and associates across practice groups — owning client work early in a non-siloed environment

What We're Looking For

  • Current judicial law clerk completing a federal district, appellate, or state clerkship in 2026 (required)
  • Admitted to practice in CO, NY, CA, or DC — must be barred in at least one jurisdiction where the firm has an office
  • Demonstrated interest in at least one of the firm's practice areas (airports, rail/transit, real estate, land use, energy, environmental, or tribal law)
  • Exceptional legal writing and analytical skills; mission-oriented and motivated by public-sector impact
  • Prior internship or externship in any firm practice area before the clerkship is a strong plus

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

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.
