News of former Philadelphia City Solicitor Diana Cortes’ return to Morgan Lewis was carried by the Law360 Pennsylvania Pulse newsletter after the firm announced Diana would rejoin as a partner. The article noted that Diana will represent clients in complex litigation matters, such as class actions and criminal investigations. Her work will draw heavily on her five-and-a-half years in Philadelphia’s law department and mayoral cabinet.
“Diana’s extensive understanding of how to navigate the legal and governmental landscape will be instrumental to companies who are facing legal crises and reputational risk, particularly in the growing area of actions involving municipalities and state entities,” said Morgan Lewis Chair Jami McKeon in a statement quoted in the Law360 article.
