More ex-Howrey lawyers have found new homes.
Richard Beckler, who was co-head of the securities litigation, government enforcement, and white-collar defense group at Howrey, has joined Bracewell & Giuliani as a partner.
Holland & Knight, which recently welcomed partner Jerry Ganzfried, has also hired John Stanton and Karen Boyd, both of whom practiced with Ganzfried in Howrey’s appellate group. Stanton joined Holland & Knight as senior counsel, and Boyd is an associate.
Alan Cooper, previously a trademark lawyer at Howrey, landed at Wiley Rein as counsel in the intellectual-property practice.
Rimon Law Group—the virtual, cloud-based firm—has hired its first Washington attorney, Carson Porter. Previously counsel at Arent Fox, Porter is now a partner in the health care, mergers and acquisitions, and non-profit practices at Rimon.
Corporate-and-securities partner Christopher Zochowski jumped from McDermott Will & Emery to Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
Real-estate partner Greg Grigorian has joined Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.
On the revolving-door front, former Michigan Democratic Representative Bart Stupak has joined Venable as a partner in the legislative-and-government-affairs group. Stupak, who didn’t seek reelection in 2010, left Congress in January.
And Richard Verma, who left Steptoe & Johnson to serve in the Obama administration as assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, has returned to the firm. He’s a partner in the international, national and homeland security, and government affairs and public policy groups.
Last but not least, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom announced its new partners. Two DC-based attorneys, Margaret Krawiec and Paul Wight, are among nine who were promoted.
Marisa M. Kashino joined Washingtonian in 2009 as a staff writer, and became a senior editor in 2014. She was previously a reporter for Legal Times and the National Law Journal. She has recently written about the Marriott family’s civil war and the 50-year rebirth of 14th Street, and reported the definitive oral history of the Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt case. She lives in Northeast DC with her husband, two dogs, and two cats.
