Salazar to work for law firm in Denver

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.

He’ll start work Monday in Denver, where WilmerHale is opening an office.

Salazar said he’ll work on environmental, energy and tribal cases, as well as giving clients strategic advice and counseling. He didn’t know which clients he would represent yet and didn’t directly answer when asked whether he could end up opposing the Obama administration on energy issues.

Salazar said he would strive to be a “peacemaker” on contentious energy issues and credited his policies as interior secretary for helping decrease the country’s reliance on imported energy.

As secretary, he tightened oversight of offshore drilling following the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, pushed for renewable energy such as solar and wind and helped settle a longstanding dispute with American Indians.

WilmerHale worked for BP after the spill, but Salazar told The Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/mspk2m9) that money made from the company will be segregated and he will not benefit from it.

“I said in 2010 I will put by boot on the neck of BP. … I am not going to represent BP, and I’m not going to make any money from BP now or ever,” he told the newspaper, which first reported his new job.

WilmerHale has had other large corporate clients, such as Citigroup and Proctor & Gamble, but it also is known for its pro bono work, including representing Guantanamo Bay prisoners and assisting South African lawyers who fought apartheid. Lawyers from the firm also served as special counsel to former presidents Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

The firm has about 1,000 lawyers in 14 offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Their practices include securities law and regulatory and intellectual property work in addition to representing clients in trials.

Oil rises on positive reading on U.S. job market

Oil rose to a high for the week after a positive reading on the U.S. job market, as natural gas plunged on a surprisingly large increase in the nation’s supplies.

Benchmark oil for July delivery gained $1.02 to finish at $94.76 a barrel, the highest close since May 28. Earlier in the session, crude hit $95.32 a barrel.

Natural gas dropped 17 cents, or 4.1 percent, to end at $3.83 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Oil prices received support from the latest government unemployment update. The Labor Department said Thursday that the number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 11,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 346,000, a level consistent with steady job growth. The claims figures come a day ahead of the monthly payrolls report, which often sets the tone across financial markets for a week or two after its release.

Natural gas sank after the government released weekly supply numbers. Natural gas supplies tend to rise at this time of year, between the heating and air conditioning seasons. The report showed supplies rose by 111 billion cubic feet to 2.252 trillion cubic feet for the week ended May 31. That was well above the average increase for the last week of May of 82 billion cubic feet to 98 billion, according to the daily newsletter The Schork Report.

Natural gas futures have dropped 43 cents, or 10 percent in the last two weeks.

At the gas pump, the average price for a gallon of gas inched higher to $3.63 a gallon. That’s 10 cents higher than a month ago and 6 cents more than at this time last year. In Houston Thursday, the average was $3.373 a gallon, down from $3.376 Wednesday.

Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, rose 57 cents to finish at $103.61 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 3 cents to end at $2.85 a gallon.
— Heating oil added 2 cents to finish at $2.87 per gallon.
