Cooley LLP Expands Congressional Investigations Practice with Former House GOP Lawyer Jessica Donlon
Cooley LLP has announced the hiring of Jessica Donlon, a former attorney for Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, as a partner in its Washington office. Donlon, who previously served as a Trump administration official and is a veteran Capitol Hill attorney, joined the firm last week. Her move is aimed at bolstering Cooley's congressional investigations practice, particularly in anticipation of the upcoming midterm elections. As general counsel for the House Energy and Commerce Committee under Chairman Brett Guthrie, a Kentucky Republican, Donlon played a key role in guiding the GOP's reconciliation package through Congress last year. Her expertise in legislative processes and congressional oversight is expected to enhance the firm's capabilities in navigating complex political and regulatory landscapes.
