Steptoe & Johnson is bringing back a former partner from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to co-chair its financial services group, the firm announced Wednesday.

Matthew Kulkin will rejoin the firm next month after a two-year stint as director of the CFTC’s Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight. Previously, he was a partner at Steptoe from 2015 to 2017, and in his new role he will co-chair the firm’s financial services group. He will be based in Washington, D.C., but will also work out of the firm’s Chicago and New York offices.
