US Chamber Litigation Center Appoints Judge Thomas B. Griffith to Board of Directors

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that Thomas B. Griffith, special counsel to the firm and former judge on the D.C. Circuit, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center (USCLC), which represents businesses on leading-edge issues before the courts and federal regulatory agencies.

Judge Griffith will join the USCLC in September 2021 based on his long-standing service and professional achievement. Appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit by President George W. Bush in 2005, Judge Griffith served on the court for 15 years until his retirement in 2020.

Founded in 1977, the Litigation Center represents the U.S. Chamber in lawsuits to challenge unlawful federal, state, and local regulatory actions by defending the government in cases brought by activists or by filing amicus briefs for the business community throughout the country. The USCLC is staffed by a team of experienced in-house litigators with significant government litigation experience as well as private sector litigation experience.
