Seventeen moves by congressional, Justice Department and FTC lawyers and inspectors general who worked on pandemic-relief oversight or enforcement, and where public records show them later. Color shows the kind of destination.
Law-firm investigations or defense practice Lobbying Industry / advisory Oversight or other public service
To law-firm investigations practices
Jenner & Block, Kirkland & Ellis, Morrison & Foerster and Arnold & Porter each market a congressional-investigations practice; Latham & Watkins and King & Spalding took two former Justice Department officials into investigations practices.
Of the seventeen moves on this board, eight went to law-firm investigations or defense practices, one to lobbying, three to industry or advisory work, and five to oversight or other public service. This is a hand-built roster of named people, not a survey of everyone who worked the pandemic-relief files, so it shows where these seventeen went and not a rate.
Sourcing: every career move is from public records — committee, Justice Department and FTC records, law-firm announcements, LegiStorm and federal lobbying disclosures — and each name above opens its sourced profile. Several of these lawyers had left the Select Subcommittee before its December 2022 staff reports.
