Wellford joins Bingham's Washington office

Bingham McCutchen LLP, a law firm with a big presence in Boston, said Hill Wellford, former chief of staff of the US Justice Department's Antitrust Division, is joining Bingham's Washington, D.C., office as a partner in its antitrust and trade regulation practice group.

"Wellford is the latest partner to join Bingham's antitrust and trade regulation practice within a year," the firm said in a press release. "Last fall, Leiv Blad, Boyd Cloern, and Jon Roellke joined Bingham from Clifford Chance in Washington, where Blad and Roellke led that firm's US antitrust practice."
