Steptoe & Johnson is an international law firm that specializes in resolving regulatory and business problems. A number of the firm's attorneys have served in high-level government positions — such as Richard R. Verma, who rejoined the firm in 2007 after serving five years as a key senior policy adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.). A couple of weeks later, the firm announced that Shannen W. Coffin was returning from a stint as the chief legal adviser to Vice President Cheney.
