Featured in Law360: Jonathan D. Brightbill Joins Winston & Strawn

Jonathan D. Brightbill joined Winston & Strawn's litigation and white collar, regulatory defense and investigations practices, where he'll represent public and private companies, corporate officers and other individuals across that spectrum.

The former U.S. Department of Justice top environmental litigator told Law360 that his move comes at a pivotal moment for environmental law and regulation, as the Biden administration has focused on climate change, environmental issues and energy regulation.

He said Winston & Strawn's reputation as a trial and appellate firm is "unparalleled" and that he is proud to be joining at such a busy time for environmental law.

"Any and all issues relating to climate change are front burner issues for this administration and not just from the perspective of EPA: We are seeing environmental issues and disclosure issues related to it be a focus of other federal agencies across this administration," he said, citing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission as examples.
