The revolving door between the Federal Trade Commission and big firms is spinning briskly with news that former Chairman Jon Leibowitz is joining Davis Polk & Wardwell as a partner and Deborah Feinstein will leave Arnold & Porter to head the agency's Bureau of Competition. In addition, Jonathan Nuechterlein, a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, will serve as the FTC's general counsel.
