Chilton has been appointed as the senior policy advisor of DLA Piper’s Washington DC office.
He has 30 years of experience in US government, where he worked in the executive branch during Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama administrations.
During his tenure as a CFTC commissioner, Chilton chaired the CFTC’s energy and environmental markets advisory and global markets advisory committees, and assisted industry participants with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
“The addition of Chilton will enhance the capabilities and visibility of our global swaps practice, as well as our access to other key decision makers with regard to recent rulemaking,” commented Marc Horwitz, head of DLA Piper’s derivatives practice.
“In addition to providing his unique insight on Dodd-Frank, Chilton will assist our cross-border team in navigating thorny issues surrounding equivalency with comparable regulations that are being enacted in other jurisdictions.”
