One week after David Freed announced his plans to step down as U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg-based McNees Wallace & Nurick has announced that the former prosecutor and former longtime assistant U.S. attorney James Clancy have joined the firm’s litigation and white-collar teams.

The firm’s chairman Brian Jackson said both Freed and Clancy are well known in Harrisburg and knew many attorneys at the firm. Bringing them on, Jackson said, made sense given their decades of experience and fit with the firm culture.
