Two months after his White House departure, former chief of staff Ron Klain is returning to a law firm he worked at in the early 2000s.

Klain will start as a partner in global legal firm O'Melveny's litigation department and as a member of the company's executive committee Monday, Axios reported. In his new capacity, Klain is expected to have the freedom to serve as an informal senior adviser to President Joe Biden's likely reelection bid.

"Throughout my years in public service," Klain said, "I have felt the support of the O'Melveny community, including mentors Warren Christopher, Bill Coleman, Walter Dellinger, and A.B. Culvahouse. I am delighted to rejoin many friends and former colleagues at the firm."

As part of the new gig, Klain will oversee the company's strategic counseling and crisis management practice and advise clients on a range of topics, such as national security, healthcare, technology, and more.

Klain worked at O'Melveny from 1999 to 2004 and served in three presidential administrations.

After Biden delivered his second State of the Union address earlier this year, Klain stepped down as chief of staff, a role he held since the beginning of the administration. He was succeeded by Jeff Zients, who spearheaded the White House's COVID-19 task force.

Since taking the reins, Zients has shaken up staff and the style of leadership from the chief of staff's office, emphasizing efficiency and tweeting less. Klain has defended Zients and praised his successor.
