Martin starts at the firm early next month and will oversee the practice with Jennifer Richter. Richter is also slated to become co-chair Patton Boggs' public policy practice.

Martin was named to the FCC as a commissioner in 2001 and was elevated to chairman in 2005 to replace Michael Powell. He resigned from the agency in January of this year and joined the non-profit Aspen Institute. Prior to the FCC, Martin was special assistant to former President George W. Bush for economic policy and served on the White House's National Economic Council.
