A little more than six months after Wiley Rein announced that it would shed 18 partners and 30 staffers as part of a firmwide restructuring in the aftermath of its decision to absorb McBee Strategic earlier this year, the Washington, D.C.-based Am Law 200 firm has made a few notable hires.
This week Wiley Rein welcomed back former of counsel ANDREW WOODSON, most recently counsel to Federal Election Commission chairman Lee Goodman, as a partner in its government ethics practice. Also headed to Wiley Rein’s sole remaining base inside the Beltway—the bulk of the firm’s other outpost in McLean, Virginia, decamped earlier this year for Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough—is Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom associate YING LIN, an international trade expert, who came aboard as special counsel last month.
