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. Immediately prior to heading up energy and environmental litigation at the U.S. Chamber, Schon was the head of regulatory and litigation for the Portland Cement Association, the trade association for the cement industry.
“We are honored to have Mike join us to provide our clients with his deep expertise on energy and environmental litigation and in crafting long-term solutions to the full panoply of environmental law issues facing our country,” founding partner Steve Lehotsky said.
“The lawyers at our firm have been involved in many of the most important cases of the last five years on energy and environmental issues, including the Clean Power Plan and Waters of the United States cases,” founding partner Scott Keller added. “Mike is a perfect fit to represent and advise our firm’s roster of business and trade association clients.”
