Former FTC Commissioner to Join Fulbright

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Former Federal Trade Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour announced today she will
be joining Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. as a partner in its antitrust and
competition practice. Harbour is well recognized for her knowledge of evolving
areas of competition and consumer protection law, including privacy and data
security issues.

Harbour served on the Federal Trade Commission from 2003 until this week. She
will join Fulbright on May 17. Harbour will work from both the Washington, D.C.
and New York offices of Fulbright.

Prior to her service on the Commission, Harbour was an antitrust partner at a
New York firm. She previously spent a decade working in the New York Attorney
General`s Office, including as Deputy Attorney General, where she investigated
and prosecuted a variety of antitrust and consumer protection violations.

Harbour`s career experience has included frequent speaking engagements,
Congressional testimony and publications relating to a wide range of industries
and subject areas. The breadth and depth of her knowledge in the energy, health
care and privacy fields, as well as her understanding of global antitrust and
consumer protection law, will be particularly valuable to Fulbright`s clients.

"During her nearly seven years as a Commissioner, Pamela has been instrumental
in shaping an ambitious Federal Trade Commission agenda that encompasses a wide
variety of competition and consumer protection issues affecting virtually every
economic sector," said Steven B. Pfeiffer, Chair of Fulbright`s Executive
Committee. "Given Pamela`s significant and respected career experience, she
offers our clients important guidance and unique perspectives, which will be
particularly valuable in light of expanded regulatory scrutiny in many of her
areas of experience."

Harbour is recognized internationally for her leadership in the emerging field
of privacy and data security. As a key member of the U.S. delegation, she has
been directly involved in representing U.S. interests during negotiation and
implementation of a global privacy framework related to cross-border data
transfers. Beyond her contributions in the realm of information practices,
Harbour also has played an important role in shaping the legal discourse on
technological standard setting, innovation markets, vertical distribution
restraints, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology and health care.

"Pamela`s governmental experience and substantive knowledge make her a great fit
for our firm during a time of increased enforcement initiatives," said Layne
Kruse, the co-head of Fulbright`s Antitrust and Competition Practice. "Problems
can vary from industry to industry, underscoring the importance of experience
before the Federal Trade Commission and other government agencies."

Fulbright lawyers have represented clients in international, domestic, civil and
criminal antitrust and competition matters ranging from mergers and acquisitions
to cartel allegations, marketing issues and consumer protection problems. The
firm`s competition experience is especially strong in energy, health,
pharmaceuticals, technology, e-commerce and intellectual property.

"After years of government service, I look forward to returning to private
practice and assisting clients in navigating the competition and consumer
protection landscape," Harbour said. "Fulbright has built a strong team that
operates seamlessly across the country and overseas. I am excited about this new
opportunity to engage with clients alongside such a talented group of lawyers."

Harbour received her law and undergraduate degrees from Indiana University. She
is licensed to practice in New York. While her application for admission to the
District of Columbia Bar is pending, Harbour`s practice in D.C. will be
supervised by principals of the firm licensed to practice in the District of
Columbia.

"During her time with the Federal Trade Commission, Pamela took some stances
that demonstrated a willingness to take risks and think outside the box to find
solutions. She consistently staked out principled and well-reasoned positions,
even when her views might buck popular thought," said Joseph T. Small, the head
of Fulbright`s Washington, D.C. office. "She is the type of lawyer we have and
want at our firm - lawyers who always look out for the best interests of our
clients and provide them with the best and most comprehensive service possible.
We are delighted to have Pamela as part of our team."
