Michael Sussmann’s arrival at Fenwick & West comes less than a year after the former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer was acquitted of lying to the FBI in a high-profile trial.

The criminal case against Sussmann dragged the former Perkins Coie partner through months of headlines, as he and his lawyers at Latham & Watkins battled a special prosecutor. But his arrival at Fenwick this week highlights Sussmann’s continued authority in cybersecurity law and the constant demand in the practice area for top talent.
