WASHINGTON — Former Ways & Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas, who instigated reports on credit unions service to those of modest means, has joined the legal and government relations firm of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC.
The group announced that Thomas would serve as its senior advisor to its Federal Government Relations Section. Thomas spent 24 years on the powerful Ways & Means Committee with his last six as chairman. He retired from Congress at the end of last year.
Alex M. Brill, a Thomas staffer, will also join the firm as an economic policy advisor. He served as senior advisor to the chairman and chief economist for the committee under Thomas for five years.

"One of the things we want to do is anticipate what may occur down the road that could affect our clients," Thomas explained. "If we know where our clients are trying to go and what they are hoping to accomplish, we can offer legislative or policy solutions to help them get there."
