A former senior attorney from the Justice Department’s environmental division has joined a private law firm in Texas, after more than a decade in the public sector.
Phillip Dupré is now counsel at Phelps Dunbar, where he will help a range of businesses comply with — and sometimes challenge — federal environmental regulations.
“Phillip’s long tenure at DOJ, where he worked closely with EPA, paired with his extensive experience litigating matters under federal environmental laws are a great benefit for our clients,” David Garcia, managing partner of Phelps’ Austin, Texas office, said in an statement.
“Since our office opened in May 2024,” Garcia added, “we have focused on growing our regulatory and litigation capabilities in Austin, and we are fortunate to have Phillip join our team.”
