The White House on Tuesday announced its intent to nominate a Wilkinson Barker Knauer attorney to be the next commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission.
Maureen Ohlhausen, a partner in Wilkinson’s privacy, data protection and cyber security practice, would rejoin the agency she served for 11 years before joining the firm in 2009. From 2004 to 2008, Ohlhausen was director of the commission’s Office of Policy Planning, where she headed the agency’s Internet Access Task Force.
“We will miss her substantive knowledge and her practical and no-nonsense approach to advising clients, but we applaud her enthusiasm for returning to public service and are pleased that the FTC will gain such a dedicated and skillful practitioner,” Bryan Tramont, managing partner at Wilkinson, a Washington-based firm, said in a statement.
