Greenberg Traurig said Monday that Alston & Bird’s Robert C. Jones has joined the firm as co-chairman of its federal government law and policy practice. Jones was previously the leader of Alston’s legislative and public policy group.

“I am excited to join a team whose members I have personally known for many years and whose reputation is outstanding,” Jones said in a statement. “I look forward to introducing the Greenberg Traurig bipartisan, bicameral team to clients and potential clients—both here in Washington, D.C., and throughout the footprint of the firm’s offices domestically and in the commercial hubs across the globe.”
