Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman hired former Assistant U.S. Attorney and Supreme Court Clerk Anne Voigts to lead its American appellate practice.

Voigts joined Pillsbury’s Silicon Valley office after seven years and nine months as a partner at Palo Alto-based King & Spalding. She previously served as an AUSA in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California for six years, where she briefed 80 cases and argued more than 50 times before the U.S. State Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
