Michael Lowe, former federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, concluded a more than 20-year career as a government lawyer this month when he moved to private practice as a partner in Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders' health sciences litigation practice, the firm announced Wednesday.

Lowe said he approached Troutman Pepper about joining the firm's health sciences litigation team because of his experience as a Los Angeles-based associate at Irell & Manella prior to his time in government and because of the volume of trial experience he gained in the intervening years.
