One of the newest firms in the Beltway region—Ellis George Cipollone O’Brien Annaguey—has lured out of retirement Fred Fielding, a prominent attorney and former counsel to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

Until 2019, Fielding was a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. He has now joined Ellis George Cipollone as counsel, resparking his international litigation, mediation and strategic advice practice at a litigation boutique full of former White House lawyers and staff.
