The yearlong exodus of partners from Patton Boggs will continue into the Washington firm’s last days, as four health care policy partners shift this week to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. At the same time, other Patton Boggs partners—including Patton Boggs’ eight-lawyer Anchorage office, which will not join merged firm Squire Patton Boggs—are racing to discuss their prospects at other firms.
John Jonas, a Patton Boggs executive committee member, will lead Akin Gump’s health policy team, a group that will work within the firm’s lobbying presence and with regulatory lawyers. The team begins on June 2.
