Scott MacGriff, a longtime lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice, recently rejoined Dickinson Wright as a member of the firm’s beefed-up government investigations and securities enforcement group in Washington, D.C.

MacGriff, who will also be part of Dickinson Wright’s government contracts practice, previously spent more than a decade at the firm before returning to private practice in late November. During his time away from Big Law, MacGriff spent eight years with the federal government, initially as part of the Justice Department’s National Courts Section, which litigates government contract disputes and prosecutes fraud cases.
