Pam Bondi, who stepped down as Florida's Attorney General this month after an eight-year stint, has joined Ballard Partners to launch and chair its corporate regulatory compliance practice.

A frequent guest on Fox News, Bondi is a favorite of president Trump, who considered her for the AG spot vacated by Jeff Sessions.

During her time in office, Bondi played a leading role in negotiating the $56B National Mortgage Settlement and sued BP and other parties over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that resulted in more than $2B in economic relief for people of the Sunshine State.

Brian Ballard, who chaired the Trump Victory fundraising operation during the 2016 presidential campaign, called Bondi "one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the country," with a "stellar reputation" that will help Fortune 500 clients deal with public policy challenges.
