Chai Feldblum, a longtime civil rights advocate and former Obama-era member of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is joining the management-side firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius in Washington as a partner.

Morgan Lewis said it was hiring Feldblum and her former chief of staff, Sharon Masling, to be a part of a team conducting investigations and cultural assessments at companies. Masling also will be a partner. The two lawyers worked at Georgetown University Law Center before joining the EEOC. They will start Feb. 25 at Morgan Lewis.
