John Walsh, a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, is joining Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr as a partner in Denver, where the Am Law 100 firm has built up a small but impressive office over the past three years.
Walsh, who stepped down from his post as the top federal prosecutor in Colorado on Aug. 10, gives Wilmer’s Mile-High City outpost a litigator who was recently one of the longest-tenured and influential U.S. attorneys in the country. He will also work with Wilmer’s offices in California and with Alejandro Mayorkas, a former No. 2 official at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who joined Wilmer in October as a partner in Washington, D.C.
