Legal Times: “Michael Bromwich, a litigation partner in the Washington and New York offices of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson who was a Justice Department watchdog in the 1990s, was named today to head up the Obama administration’s effort to improve regulation of the oil industry following the Gulf of Mexico disaster…The White House wants Bromwich to restore “integrity and rigor” to the relationship between MMS and oil companies. Among other things, that means eliminating conflicts in the agency with regard to establishing safety standards, regulating compliance and collecting royalties.”
