California-based Munger, Tolles & Olson has again seized on changes in the government to grow its Washington, D.C., office. The firm hired Justice Department and Jenner & Block alum Ginger Anders, reuniting her with former U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., who launched Munger’s outpost in the capital late last year.

Anders had worked as an assistant to Solicitor General Elena Kagan, before Kagan ascended to the U.S. Supreme Court, and then Verrilli. More recently she was a deputy in the U.S. Department of Justice ‘s Office of Legal Counsel.
