As Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr seeks to enact “generational change,” Washington, D.C., litigator Jamie Gorelick is stepping back as co-chair of the firm’s prominent crisis management and strategic response group, though will remain chair of the firm’s regulatory and government affairs department, which oversees the practice.

The announcement follows several leadership changes at the firm, including a new managing partner in January 2024, Anjan Sahni, and a newly elected management committee, Gorelick said.
