Martinez joined DLA Piper’s Orlando office last fall after serving a term in the U.S. Senate from 2004 to 2009. Martinez, who also served in the cabinet of George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003, will be on JPMorgan Chase’s executive committee. He will represent the firm at the most senior levels to clients, from businesses to large corporations to non-profits and governments.
“I leave DLA Piper with warm relationships with many of its lawyers around the world, which I know will continue,” Martinez said in a statement.
DLA Piper has 3,500 lawyers in more than 65 offices in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
