DENVER — Former U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will start work next week as a partner in an international law firm that will allow him to remain in his home state and work on cases involving the energy industry he once regulated.
The former U.S. senator and Colorado attorney general announced Thursday that he's joining WilmerHale as a partner after interviewing with many law firms.
"This is where the top lawyers are in America, and they share my values and my commitment to social justice," Salazar said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C.
