(April 2) – Foley Gardere, one day after making its merger effective after months of negotiations, has announced an addition to its government solutions practice group in Austin.
Craig Chick, founder of Capitol Partners Consulting with more than 20 years of experience in state politics as a senior adviser in the Texas House and Senate, has joined the recently combined firm as director of public affairs.
From 2009 to 2012, Chick served as the senior business and regulatory advisor to Texas House Speaker Joe Straus from 2009-2012 during the 81st and 82nd legislative sessions.
