Ex-U.S. Attorney to Join Davis Polk Law Firm in Washingto

``The managing partner of Davis Polk, Thomas J. Reid, said in an interview that Mr. MacBride's hiring reflected the firm's continued push to increase its presence in Washington at a time of stepped-up regulatory and criminal enforcement. "We have been looking for a senior ex-prosecutor, and Neil is a great fit both professionally and personally," Mr. Reid said. "Neil can provide the best risk advice to our clients on both regulatory and white-collar matters."''
