Lowell Chandler is a committed advocate of fighting the good fight and has spent his career building his experience in energy and environmental law and policy.  After graduating from Hellgate High School in Missoula, Montana, Lowell completed his Bachelor of Science in Geography with honors in 2012 from the University of Montana.  Upon graduation, Lowell moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked as a climate policy analyst with an international NGO advocating for environmental law and policy reforms nationally and globally to combat climate change.  

 

After four years in Washington, D.C., Lowell returned to Montana in 2016 and received his J.D. with honors from the University of Montana Law School.  He also received certificates in Environmental Natural Resources Law and Natural Resource Conflict Resolution.

After law school, Lowell clerked for the Honorable Chief Justice Mike McGrath of the Montana Supreme Court where he drafted opinions (majority and dissent) and bench memoranda for around thirty civil and criminal cases.

 

In his free time, Lowell enjoys exploring the outdoors and planning the next family adventure with his wife and two sons.  Lowell works remotely out of his home office in Missoula, Montana.
