Davis Wright Tremaine has hired Eric “Ric” Redman, a consultant and founder of the energy practice at Heller Ehrman, to serve as a senior energy and climate policy adviser working out of the firm’s headquarters in Seattle.

Redman, who officially joined Davis Wright last week, assisted Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe earlier this year in setting up its new Houston office. Rejoining a big firm such as Davis Wright, which welcomed at least 20 refugees from now-defunct Heller Ehrman in 2008, won’t be too much of a stretch for Redman.
