Former White House Counsel Greg Craig, who left the Obama administration earlier this month, has joined the Washington, D.C., law firm Skadden Arps as a partner.
In an announcement on its web site today, Skadden announced that Craig will lead its new “Global Policy and Litigation Strategy Practice Group.”
The White House announced Craig’s departure in November. He was replaced with Bob Bauer.
The White House has denied speculation that Craig left over delays in closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
