Sidley partner Justin Savage, global co-leader of the firm’s Environmental, Health, and Safety practice and co-leader of the firm’s the Automotive and Mobility sector team, was recently interviewed by financial planning firm SideBar Advisors on their SideBar Podcast. In this episode, Justin shares his journey from the DOJ, where he helped try what was then the largest environmental settlement in U.S. history, to his current role advising major companies on high-stakes regulatory and litigation matters. But Justin’s story goes beyond the courtroom. A high school teacher inspired him to pursue college, a debate team flyer led him to his future wife, and together they navigated law school while raising a newborn — sometimes literally bringing the baby to class. It’s a story about grit, purpose, and building a meaningful career without losing sight of what matters most.
