Our blogs like to feature news circulating with local law firms and attorneys in the country. Today we would like to take part in announcing a former senate leaving his position to join in a Florida law firm. Law Web Design would like to wish him success with his new move.
Mel Martinez's career plans after leaving the Senate appear to be bringing him to Tampa.
The
Orlando Republican is joining the offices of DLA Piper as a partner in
its Washington and Tampa offices, according to Legal Times.
DLA
Piper partner Ignacio Sanchez confirmed the news following a partnership
vote. Martinez, who left the Senate earlier this month, starts at the
firm on Oct. 1, Legal Times reported.
"When he announced he was
going to retire and let the governor appoint someone to finish out the
term, I immediately talked to him and said, you really ought to consider
looking at our firm. I think you would really do well, and we would
love to have you," Sanchez said.
The former senator will be banned
from lobbying for two years, though Sanchez said he will be able to
advise clients on a range of issues.
