The former head of the Justice Department’s environment division has joined a Washington law firm.
As a partner at Pillsbury, Todd Kim, who led DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD) for more than three years under former President Joe Biden, will handle energy, environmental, state attorney general and appellate litigation matters, the firm said.
“I am thrilled to join Pillsbury, its esteemed Litigation practice and its remarkable roster of battle-tested trial lawyers,” Kim said in a statement this week. “Whether in relation to the broad implications of environmental regulatory shifts, high-stakes appellate cases or State Attorney General matters, I very much look forward to helping clients navigate the complex issues they face today.”
Kim left ENRD in January, at the start of the Trump administration. While he was head of the division, he channeled resources to fight pollution and climate impacts in communities of color and rural areas.
