Robert McDowell, a former commissioner with the Federal Communications Commission who joined Wiley Rein in 2014, has left the firm to co-lead the global communications practice at Cooley. McDowell is the latest top telecommunications industry partner to depart from the Washington, D.C.-based regulatory shop in recent months.
McDowell, who is based in Washington, D.C., served as a Republican appointee to the FCC from 2006 through 2013. He was re-appointed to the commission by President Obama in 2009. McDowell’s move comes the same week that DLA Piper officially confirmed its addition of three telecom partners from Wiley Rein, as previously reported by sibling publication The National Law Journal.
