WASHINGTON - The national litigation boutique Lehotsky Keller LLP today announced the addition of Michael B. Schon as partner to expand the firm’s environmental litigation capabilities.
Michael B. Schon joins the firm’s Washington, D.C. office this month after working as Chief Counsel for Energy & Environmental Litigation for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce since 2017.
A press release states that Schon has unparalleled regulatory experience across multiple trade associations, and in addition to his appellate expertise at the Chamber also has deep trial litigation experience as a lawyer at DOJ’s Energy & Natural Resources Division and in Baker & Botts LLP’s premier environmental practice.
