Joshua Matz, who recently worked as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment proceedings, is returning to Kaplan Hecker & Fink as a partner and will help the boutique firm launch a new office in Washington, D.C.

While Kaplan Hecker has a presence in D.C., the new office marks an official expansion to the region as the three-year-old firm seeks to expand its litigation work in the area.

Matz said that when he joined the firm, he was essentially the practice's entire D.C. presence but that the new office will help establish them in the area.
