Former head of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys, Michael Battle, has joined Fulbright & Jaworski’s Washington office. Battle is most known for being the man who called seven of the U.S. Attorneys in December to fire them; in the middle of the controversy surrounding the firings, Battle resigned from the Justice Department in March. At Fulbright, he will practice civil and commercial litigation and white collar criminal defense; Battle has not yet commented on his new position.
