Earthjustice has hired Tania Galloni as its new managing attorney for Florida, succeeding David Guest, who retired in June after 12 years in the role.

Galloni has spent her career doing public interest law in Florida, where she had been the managing attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Miami office since 2011, focused on juvenile justice and education reform. She is a past recipient of the Daily Business Review’s annual Most Effective Lawyer recognition.
