Crowell & Moring added corporate partner, Bryan Brewer, to its D.C. office. Formerly working for Nixon Peabody, Brewer focuses on public securities, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and export controls. He brings with him between 25 and 30 clients, and said that he was interested in Crowell because he wanted to be a part of a local large corporate practice. Since 2001, when Crowell started a serious effort to increase its corporate group, the practice has grown by 40 lawyers. Sources say that the group could grow to 80 or more attorneys in the next six to eight years.
