Fresh from trying the high profile embezzlement case of Atlanta lawyer Nathan Hardwick IV, Doug Gilfillan has left the Atlanta U.S. Attorney’s Office for Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton to become a partner on its white-collar defense team.

Gilfillan said the Hardwick trial, which lasted more than three weeks, was the longest of the dozen cases he’d tried since becoming an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in 2007.
