The U.S. Department of Labor has announced the appointment of Jonathan Snare as the new Deputy Solicitor of Labor. Snare, formerly a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, brings over 15 years of experience from his tenure in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office. This appointment is among a series of staffing changes at the Department, occurring shortly after the Senate confirmed Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s top leaders within the agency.
In addition to Snare’s appointment, several professionals from Congresswoman Chavez-DeRemer’s former congressional office have also been selected for key positions within the Department. Notables include Peyton Smith, Rebecca Wright, Jihun Han, Aaron Britt, and Joe MacFarlane. Each will fulfill various roles, as the Department seeks to solidify its leadership and advance its agenda in the years to come.
The strategic recruitment of former legislative staffers highlights the Department’s approach to ensuring its policies are backed by experienced hands who have previously navigated the complexities of the legislative environment. For additional insights, visit the full Bloomberg Law article.
