Former Chicago U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who stepped down in June, will join Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP on Oct. 29 as a partner in the Chicago office, the firm said in a statement.
Under Fitzgerald, the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s office won convictions of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, an ex-White House aide; former Illinois governors Rod Blagojevich and George H. Ryan; and Hollinger International Inc. Chairman Conrad Black. Fitzgerald, 51, was appointed by President George W. Bush and took office in September 2001.
