A little less than three years after leaving Mayer Brown for litigation powerhouse Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, ANDREW SCHAPIRO is making another big move, having recently been confirmed as the next U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic.

Schapiro, who works out of New York and Chicago, is a former Harvard Law School classmate of President Barack Obama. The 51-year-old appellate litigator also served as a top bundler for the president during his 2012 reelection drive, helping cobble together more than $500,000 in donations for Obama’s campaign coffers.
