Shipman & Goodwin LLP announced it’s hired former Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen and his top lieutenant, marking the second round of high-profile former state government leaders the Hartford law firm has added in recent weeks.
The firm announced Monday, February 4, that Jepsen and his Chief Deputy General Perry Zinn Rowthorn have been named partners and will lead the firm’s newly minted state attorneys general practice group.
Shipman’s new practice group will represent corporate clients in investigations and enforcement actions brought by state attorneys general nationwide. That includes government inquiries, investigations, litigation, and settlement monitoring.
“For years I watched and admired how the Office of the Connecticut Attorney General under George and Perry took a leadership role on numerous bi-partisan, statewide and multi-state issues confronting the nation, whether it was data privacy or mortgage fraud,” said Alan E. Lieberman, Managing Partner of Shipman & Goodwin. “They are well known and respected by attorneys general and their senior staff across the country as deeply knowledgeable and experienced problem solvers. We are thrilled to be able to tap their commitment, knowledge and stellar capabilities as we launch our State Attorneys General practice at Shipman. We will focus on delivering high-quality, efficient and economically competitive services for all matters and issues related to the work of attorneys general in states across the country.”
