In a significant move, Gregory Craig, who previously held the position of White House counsel under both the Obama and Clinton administrations, has joined the law firm Foley Hoag. The firm officially announced Craig’s appointment on Tuesday, marking a notable addition to their litigation and investigations practice group. According to the firm, Craig will provide his expertise in areas such as constitutional litigation, international law, executive authority, and higher education policy.
Craig’s legal career has seen him operate at the upper echelons of the U.S. government as well as within prominent courtrooms across the country. Prior to joining Foley Hoag, he was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, a well-known international law firm. His vast experience is seen as a considerable asset by Foley Hoag’s managing partner, Jim Bucking. Bucking expressed anticipation at harnessing Craig’s wealth of knowledge, trial experience, and strategic insights for the firm.
The move aligns with Foley Hoag’s strategic aims to bolster their litigation capabilities with seasoned professionals experienced in government and complex legal matters. As Craig takes on his new role, the legal community keenly observes the contributions he will bring to the firm’s existing practice strengths.
