Fried Frank partner Michael R. Bromwich was selected this week by President Obama to lead the administration’s efforts in targeting corruption in the regulation and oversight of offshore oil drilling in the wake of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
According to a firm press release, Bromwich will lead the effort to reform the Minerals Management Service, the agency of the U.S. Department of Interior charged with the management of the nation’s natural gas, oil and other mineral resources. He will be responsible for developing plans for a new oversight structure for environment and safety regulation.
