This is some pretty big news. Munger Tolles & Olson (where my son Hunter is an associate) is going to open an office in Washington DC. Heading up the office will be former Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli, Jr. Mr. Verrilli clerked for Justice William J. Brennan Jr. and ultimately succeeded Elana Kagen as the Solicitor general. Joining him will be veteran litigator Michael B. DeSanctis and former Deputy Associate Attorney General Chad Golder. The announcement is here. A NY Times article about Verrilli is here.
