Coming off a grueling four-year stint at the Justice Department, Lanny A. Breuer is poised to make a soft landing in the private sector.FWIW, I think that "welcome" is spelled "Ka-Ching."
Covington & Burling, a prominent law firm, plans to announce on Thursday that Mr. Breuer will be its vice chairman. The firm created the role especially for Mr. Breuer, a Washington insider who most recently led the Justice Department’s investigation into the financial crisis.
For Mr. Breuer, who will now shift to defending large corporations, Covington is familiar turf. He previously spent nearly two decades there.
………
“We’re proud to welcome him home,” said Timothy C. Hester, Covington’s chairman.
He did his job, and now Mr. Breuer is going to be paid for, "not bringing cases against the banks and executives at the center of the crisis."
