Although she remains the only woman to ever serve as Connecticut's attorney general, Clarine Nardi Riddle is perhaps better known these days as a Washington insider. She's been a longtime chief of staff for former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman and the leader of efforts to create a more bipartisan approach in the nation's capital.
With Lieberman retiring from the Senate this year, Riddle needed a new job. Last week, she landed one at Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman, which ranks in the top 125 on the AmLaw 200 list. Though the firm is New York-based, Riddle won't have to leave D.C. She's launching a new Washington office, with her practice focusing on government affairs. According to her new bosses, she will attempt to expand the firm's presence on Capitol Hill and advise clients on a range of regulatory and public policy issues.
