Nossaman Partner,
Paul Quinn, was mentioned in the
American Banker. The article, "Washington People," notes Mr. Quinn's recent move to Nossaman from the Pittsburgh firm, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney.
Going for Brogue
Veteran banking lawyer/lobbyist Paul S. Quinn joined Nossaman LLP as a partner.
The plain-speaking Democrat, who played a major role in the 1990s in persuading Congress to allow interstate banking, has spent the past five years at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, a Pittsburgh firm where he represented PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and BlackRock Inc.
Quinn made the move because Nossaman merged with O'Connor & Hannon LLC, a firm he'd long had close ties to; his brother Tommy worked there for decades before joining Venable LLP.
At Nossaman, Quinn will do regulatory and legislative work for MasterCard and Fidelity Investments as well as some hedge funds and PNC.
Like every other financial services lobbyist in town, Quinn is tracking regulatory reform. But while Sen. Chris Dodd is expected to unveil his new bill today, this week will be a big one for Quinn for other reasons.
An Irishman to his core, Quinn will kick up his 75-year-old heels at the American Ireland Fund's national gala Tuesday, an enormously successful fundraiser he founded 20 years ago. And on Wednesday he'll be at the White House celebrating St. Patrick's Day with President Obama and Ireland's prime minister.
