Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, has made plans to leave his role as partner at DLA Piper, Bloomberg Law reports. DLA Piper’s lobbying clients, which include major companies and foreign governments, reportedly created potential conflicts-of-interest for Emhoff, but a campaign spokeswoman confirmed he will “sever all ties” with the firm. Emhoff has been on a leave of absence from the firm since August when President-elect Joe Biden named Harris as his running mate. The spokeswoman declined to say whether Emhoff will resume his legal career after the Jan. 20 inauguration.
