In a strategic move to bolster its capabilities in public policy and regulatory matters, Mayer Brown has announced the addition of former U.S. Labor Secretary, Tom Perez, as a partner. Perez will be joining the firm’s public policy, regulatory, and government affairs practice as well as its litigation and dispute resolution practice in Washington, D.C.
With this new role, Perez will leverage his extensive experience in complex litigation and government affairs. His previous service as the U.S. Secretary of Labor from 2013 to 2017 and his recent tenure as a senior adviser to the president and director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs at the White House provide him with a unique perspective that he can bring to Mayer Brown’s clients, particularly in matters concerning labor-management relations, higher education, and infrastructure.
Perez’s appointment is part of Mayer Brown’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in key sectors that are experiencing significant regulatory changes and challenges. The firm acknowledges Perez’s invaluable expertise in policy and governance issues, aiming to offer clients enhanced strategies and solutions in navigating the complex legal landscape.
