M. Kendall Day, a former acting deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's Criminal Division, is joining Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's Washington, D.C., office as partner on May 1.
Day worked for 15 years as a federal prosecutor, and spent the last year supervising about 200 prosecutors and staff in the Criminal Division at Main Justice. He previously led the division's money laundering and asset recovery section from 2014 to 2017.
He joins more than 50 former U.S. Department of Justice lawyers at Gibson Dunn, where Day will work in the firm's white-collar practice.

“I look forward to joining Gibson Dunn to begin the next chapter of my career,” Day said in a statement, calling the firm's white-collar practice “unparalleled.”
Day's focus at the firm will include Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering matters, working closely with fellow DOJ alum Stephanie Brooker, according to F. Joseph Warin, co-chair of Gibson Dunn's white-collar defense and investigations group.
“In addition to the sustained enforcement efforts by U.S. agencies, we expect the trend of the globalization of investigations to continue,” Gibson Dunn chairman Ken Doran said in a statement. “Kendall's addition will expand our capability to meet our clients' needs in this environment.”
Day left his DOJ post in February 2018, according to his LinkedIn page. His exit comes amid a string of prominent former Justice Department and law enforcement officials joining private practice or leaving the Trump administration.
Associate attorney general Rachel Brand, the former third-in-command at the Justice Department, also left the government in February to take a job as Walmart Inc.'s head of global corporate governance, while rumors that President Donald Trump could soon fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein have circulated for weeks.
The FBI's top congressional liaison, Greg Brower, left for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck earlier this month. Brower was brought into the bureau by fired FBI Director James Comey. Another Comey aide, Chuck Rosenberg joined Crowell & Moring last month. Rosenberg formerly led the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
