“I am confident that Eric’s firsthand government experience will deepen the firm’s public policy expertise,” Perlstein said. “Many of our partners who left for high-level positions in government return, refreshing our government experience and enhancing our reputation as among the nation’s leading firms for Washington-focused policy matters.”

As Chief of Staff to Senator Kennedy from February 2006 to August 2009, Mogilnicki was closely involved in every aspect of the Senator’s public life, including political strategy, legislation and communications.  Following Kennedy’s death, Mogilnicki went to work for Sen. Kirk.
