The Hill Quotes Hunter Bates on Akin Gump as Destination for Ex-Lawmakers
Contact:
For its article “K Street giants scoop up coveted ex-lawmakers,” on Capitol Hill legislators who leave government service for law and lobbying firms, The Hill noted the arrival at Akin Gump of former Reps. Lamar Smith and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and former Sen. Joe Donnelly.
The Hill quoted Hunter Bates, co-head of the firm’s public law and policy practice, on the topic. He noted that it was “natural that a firm with a broad practice like Akin Gump would be attractive to former lawmakers. Because of our size and our depth and our breadth, we are able to cover a broad range of issues. I think that type of broad, and in our case global, platform makes it attractive to former members of Congress.”
