A Washington attorney whose law firm helped guide the city through the U.S. Justice Department's investigation of the Chicago Police Department has been chosen by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to replace departing Corporation Counsel Steve Patton.
Edward Siskel, a former deputy White House Counsel under President Barack Obama, also served as a deputy attorney general in the Department of Justice.
He joined the law firm of WilmerHale in 2014. WilmerHale was paid $979,000 to advise the city on the Justice Department investigation.
Siskel's resume also includes stints as a former federal prosecutor in Chicago and as a former law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.
