Biskupic to join Michael Best & Friedrich
U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic will join Michael Best & Friedrich LLP in Milwaukee as a partner in the law firm’s litigation practice group when he resigns from his current job, the firm announced today.
Biskupic recently announced his plans to resign from the U.S. Attorney’s Office after Democrat Barack Obama won the Nov. 4 election. Biskupic had been appointed to the post by President George W. Bush in May 2002.
Biskupic will join Michael Best & Friedrich in February. In his private practice, he will work to protect the rights of businesses involved in civil and regulatory business matters and provide proactive compliance advice.
"Michael Best has a terrific reputation in the business community, and its diverse areas of practice will allow me to work with businesses facing a broad spectrum of legal challenges," Biskupic said. "I’m also thrilled to have an opportunity to work with the firm’s office in Chicago where I grew up and still have many family members and friends in the legal community."
"Following his distinguished career in public service, Steve Biskupic will bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to benefit our clients," said Scott Beightol, chair of Michael Best & Friedrich’s management committee. "Steve’s skills are particularly valuable given the increasingly challenging regulatory landscape for businesses."
