General Description
The Senior Staff Attorney will play an integral role in developing and implementing The Wilderness Society’s (TWS) programmatic litigation and legal strategy as part of a cross-functional legal team that works in service of the organization and its programmatic priorities in an integrated and collaborative manner.
TWS’s legal team plays a unique and crucial role in integrating legal strategy throughout our multi-disciplinary approach to achieving enduring conservation gains. This includes building eventual legal cases from the ground-up through engagement in agency decision-making processes, utilizing the law to advance protective policies and outcomes, and establishing a strong record for eventual administrative challenges or litigation. As in-house counsel, the Senior Staff Attorney will implement TWS legal engagement in public land management decision-making, including bringing legal expertise to priority place-based and policy campaigns and supporting litigation, working in close coordination with TWS regional, agency policy and planning, government relations, and external affairs staff, partners, Native American tribes, and outside legal counsel. **The preferred location for this position is Denver, CO. Other TWS office locations may be considered**
(Note: TWS does not represent itself in the courts but actively supports and partners with our litigating counsel.)
This position plays an important role in supporting an inclusive organizational culture that is grounded in trust and accountability to shared goals and outcomes. TWS has made diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic priorities for the organization, and the Senior Staff Attorney will integrate these priorities throughout our legal work. Across our team, we aspire to be campaign oriented, nimble, collaborative, innovative, transparent, and supportive of staff – our greatest asset.

Advise TWS staff, internal and external campaigns, and partners on strategic development of the administrative record for priority planning, rulemaking, and other decision-making processes to prepare for litigation.
Independently lead TWS legal engagement in high-priority administrative decision-making processes likely to lead to administrative challenges or litigation, working with internal and external campaign teams and outside legal counsel to establish standing, build a robust administrative record, support local partners, communities, and tribes, develop legal claims, and coordinate advocacy and media campaigns with legal strategy.
Help manage and coordinate with outside legal counsel, including overseeing claim development, briefing, and other aspects of active litigation and coordinating closely with TWS staff engaged in the underlying decision-making process.
