Beth Wilkinson, the former Fannie Mae general counsel, will be joining law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison at the beginning of February. The Am Law Daily reports that Wilkinson will join the firm’s litigation department as a partner in its D.C. office.
Wilkinson left Fannie Mae following the government takeover of the mortgage giant last September. The Am Law Daily reports that she was courted by several firms but, after meeting with dozens of Paul Weiss partners, decide to join the firm shortly after the New Year.
