The revolving door of Washington spins with every new administration, as lawyers from some of the country's biggest firms leave behind lucrative partnerships for the chance to leave a more public mark, or at least testify before the klieg lights of Congress.

We've reported extensively on the movement of lawyers into—and out of—the Trump administration, and below are some of our most-read pieces from 2018 about Big Law partners who jumped to agencies and prosecution offices. One of those partners is awaiting confirmation.

Our reports focused on the attorneys' financial disclosures—mandatory filings for many high-level executive branch positions. These documents revealed income, client names and other compensation and benefits arrangements a partner had with his or her firm. The public filings provide some insight into matters a newly hired or appointed Trump administration lawyer might not be able to touch for a year or so.
