Sheila Bair, who headed the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission under Presidents Bush and Obama, has gone to K Street. Bloomberg reports:
Sheila Bair, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s former chairman, has joined DLA Piper as a senior policy adviser in Washington as the fourth high-level former federal official to come to the law firm this year.
Bair, 60, will provide strategic advice about developments in the financial markets focusing on the firm’s international practice, DLA Piper said yesterday in a statement.
DLA Piper’s financial sector lobbying clients include the international outfits Hannover Re, Arab Bank PLC, and the International Underwriting Association of London. Bair says she won’t lobby.
