Represent clients in catastrophic workplace incidents, chemical exposures, and multi-employer worksite enforcement actions. You will steer internal investigations, negotiate with Cal/OSHA, Fed-OSHA, and state-plan regulators, and defend against willful, repeat, and serious citations—often for healthcare systems, manufacturers, and logistics operators. The mandate also includes advising boards on safety compliance during M&A diligence and post-transaction integration, as well as drafting and challenging workplace violence prevention plans and heat-illness protocols.
What this firm is looking for
- At least 10 years of substantive environmental and OSHA practice within a law firm or sophisticated in-house environment.
- A portable book of business and a track record of originating client relationships in the healthcare, industrial, or transportation sectors.
- First-chair experience contesting OSHA citations before administrative law judges and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
- Deep familiarity with Cal/OSHA enforcement patterns, PSM standards, and the interplay between environmental agencies and workplace safety investigations.
- Active bar membership in good standing in at least one of the listed office jurisdictions.
