Conway, a graduate of Yale Law School, has spent more than two decades at the corporate firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. While there, he’s represented a slew of high-profile clients, from the National Football League to Philip Morris, according to his biography on the firm’s website.

As head of the civil division, Conway would defend the Trump administration in its legal battles, including over the president’s travel ban.

George Conway, who didn’t have a direct role in President Trump’s campaign, had been considered for the job of solicitor general, who argues cases before the Supreme Court. But that position went to Noel Francisco, a partner at the law firm Jones Day.
