Political operative and pundit Matt Towery has moved to Hall Booth Smith's government affairs practice, for its state and regional focus from a more nationally oriented practice at McKenna Long & Aldridge.

Towery joined Hall Booth as of counsel and as a managing director in the 15-person government affairs practice, which has expanded rapidly in the past few years as the firm transformed itself from an insurance defense firm to one with a more general business practice serving the entire state.
