Sheppard Mullin and Paul Hastings Partners Picked for DHS Leadership Roles
Sheppard Mullin partner Jonathan Meyer is intended to be President Biden’s nominee for General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a position that will require senate confirmation. Meyer, who previously served as DHS deputy general counsel and senior counsel under the Obama administration from 2011-2016, said he was “honored and humbled to be nominated for this important role, to rejoin DHS and be a part of [the Biden] administration,” adding his appreciation “to Sheppard Mullin for being my professional home for the past four-and-a-half years.”
Sheppard Mullin chair Guy Halgren commented, “Clients have benefited immensely from Jon’s sage and experienced counsel. It’s not every day that you get the insight of a 20-year veteran of the highest levels of government to help you overcome your most critical challenges.”
