Jamie Gorelick
Jamie Gorelick’s career spans the legal, corporate and public policy landscape.
A litigator by training, she is a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in Washington, where she heads the Defense, National Security and Government Contracts Practice. She was a member of the bi-partisan National Commission on Terrorist Threats Upon the United States, or the 9/11 Commission, whose recommendations produced a major restructuring of our intelligence community. For this service she was well-prepared by virtue of her work in three of the most relevant environments: the Defense Department, where she was General Counsel; the Justice Department, where she served as Deputy Attorney General (the number two position in the Department); and the intelligence community, where she spent many years on the National Security Advisory Panel. She also has a long-standing interest in cyber-security, having co-chaired the Advisory Committee of the National Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection. Ms. Gorelick recently served as General Counsel to the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, headed by former Senators Graham and Talent.
