Daris Meeks is returning to Venable after serving less than one year with Vice President Mike Pence.

Meeks will rejoin Venable's legislative and government affairs practice, where he was a partner from 2014 until he joined Pence's staff at the beginning of 2017.

Meeks left the firm to serve as Pence's domestic policy adviser, where Pence's office said he was responsible for building a policy shop to advance President Donald Trump's agenda through Congress. In January 2018, Pence's office said that Meeks and Pence's chief counsel Mark Paoletta were leaving the vice president's team. Paoletta moved to the Office of Management and Budget.
