McCarter & English adds Brian Wilton, former general counsel for NJ Transit, to the firm’s Government Affairs practice as a partner in its Newark office.
Brian has more than 20 years of experience in government, law, and business. For the past eight years, he has held prominent roles in state government, most recently serving as the first senior vice president, chief legal officer, and general counsel for NJ Transit, the largest statewide public transit system in the US. He created the agency’s legal department from the ground up and advised on all agency legal matters.
“Brian’s background and diverse experience at the intersection of politics, law, and business brings valuable insights to our group, and will further enable us to support our clients and lend them the perspective of someone who ran the legal function at the country’s largest statewide public transit agency,” said Guillermo Artiles, chair of McCarter’s Government Affairs practice.
