Derek Green is an energy and litigation attorney who represents and counsels clients on regulatory compliance and commercial disputes. Routinely working with clients in the renewable energy, manufacturing, and financial sectors, his goal is to help clients put their best foot forward – whether that is before an appellate court, a government agency, or across the table of a boardroom.

Derek also has broad experience in media litigation, and has represented media interests from the trial courts to the U.S. Supreme Court. A former fellow with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Derek has published and presented on a range of media topics, including freedom of speech, access to information, and anti-SLAPP laws.

Before joining Davis Wright Tremaine, Derek clerked for the Hon. Robert Beezer with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. He currently serves as the Chair of the Oregon State Bar’s Appellate Practice Section and a Program Manager for the Oregon Appellate Pro Bono Program.
