McHugh, whose title will be government affairs counselor, becomes the fourth full-time former member of Congress in K&L Gates’ practice, joining former Sen. SladeGorton (R-Wash.) and former Reps. James Walsh (R-N.Y.) and BartGordon (D-Tenn.).McHugh told PI he had talks with about a dozen firms and chose K&L Gates for its global reach and collaborative approach. He is eight months into his two-year cooling-off period during which he can't lobby the Defense Department, but he will be providing "strategic advice." He ruled out returning to public office.Before becoming Secretary, McHugh rose to ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee. LeMay was his principal civilian adviser and also worked for him on the Hill. “Their knowledge and interests in defense and procurement, supply chain management, sustainable energy, logistics, health care and postal issues will enable us to expand our services to clients and to further grow our policy practice,” said PeterKalis, the firm's chairman and global managing partner.K&L Gates' defense clients include Textron Systems, Michael Baker International and ManTech International.
