After being forced to resign from his post earlier this year, former U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Andrew Luger has joined Jones Day, a firm with close ties to the Trump administration.
Luger, a New Jersey native, will become a partner in Jones Day's investigations and white-collar defense practice in Minneapolis, where the Am Law 100 firm opened an office last year.
“I've talked to many law firms, all of which were terrific, but this opportunity was really unique for me because of the collaborative style [at Jones Day],” Luger said Monday. “The quality of lawyers is just top notch [and] the lawyers that I'm going to be working with are all going to make me better.”
