Steptoe & Johnson LLP Expands Regulatory Litigation Team with Michelle Kallen Appointment in Washington Office

In a strategic expansion of its government and regulatory litigation practice, Steptoe & Johnson LLP has welcomed Michelle Kallen as a partner in its Washington office. The firm announced this strategic move on Tuesday, marking a significant addition to their appellate practice. Kallen will serve not only as a partner but also as a co-leader in the firm’s appellate practice group.

Kallen brings extensive experience advising clients on complex legal issues, particularly in the domains of administrative law, privacy, and cryptocurrency. Her new role at Steptoe is expected to leverage her expertise to benefit companies operating in the rapidly evolving technology, cryptocurrency, and transportation sectors. This represents a critical area for legal professionals as regulatory environments continue to shift.

Prior to joining Steptoe, Kallen was with Jenner & Block, where she established a robust reputation for her work in federal and state appellate courts. Her transition to Steptoe underscores the firm’s commitment to strengthening its capacities in high-stakes appellate litigation and administrative law.
