With a new presidential administration just months away, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, Polsinelli and Miles & Stockbridge have all hired D.C. laterals in their litigation and government contracts practices this week.

It comes as President-elect Donald Trump’s second term is set to shake things up for law firms in D.C., with firm leaders expecting changes in client needs within their regulatory practices.

Wilmer has rehired Siddharth Velamoor as a partner in its litigation and controversy department and its commercial litigation group. Velamoor was most recently senior counsel at Boeing, according to a LinkedIn profile.

"His extensive experience in managing complex litigation and regulatory matters, combined with his deep understanding of the aviation and technology sectors, will be invaluable to our clients,” said Wilmer’s managing partner Anjan Sahni, in a statement.

As an executive in Boeing’s law and global compliance organization, he helped direct the company’s response to investigations, regulatory matters and defense of complex litigation in U.S. and foreign courts. Before his time at Boeing, Velamoor worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle.

He previously worked at Wilmer as an associate and counsel from 2011 to 2016.

Polsinelli, meanwhile, hired longtime Reed Smith attorney Tyree Jones Jr. as a shareholder in its employment litigation practice in D.C. Jones was at Reed Smith for over two decades and spent time as the firm’s global labor and employment chair.

Jones counsels clients through equitable rights disputes, as well as employment discrimination claims. He addresses issues such as predatory and fair lending, challenges to DEI initiatives, disability rights and accessibility issues, and equal pay concerns, Polsinelli said.

Also in D.C., Miles & Stockbridge has brought on Lyle Hedgecock as counsel in the firm’s government contracts group, from Morrison & Foerster. Hedgecock has managed multimillion-dollar contracts involving space systems, the firm said.

He previously served as director of operations for the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, where he supervised all U.S. Air Force weather satellites.
