Jenner & Block Staffs Up With Top FCC Staffers

Jenner & Block has grabbed a handful of former top Federal Communications Commission officials for the law firm's communications, internet and technology practice. Earlier in May, Howard Symons, former general counsel of the FCC under Democratic chairman Tom Wheeler, joined the practice as a partner. The firm says it has also added Roger Sherman, former chief of the Wireless Bureau, and Johanna Thomas, former legal advisor to Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, as "of counsel" and special counsel, respectively. All will be based in the firm's Washington office.
