Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi Joins Ballard Partners
Bondi to Chair Ballard’s Corporate Regulatory Compliance Practice
Pam Bondi, elected twice to serve as Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 - 2019, has joined
Ballard Partners to launch and Chair the firm’s Corporate Regulatory Compliance practice. The
firm’s new national practice area will focus on serving Fortune 500 companies to implement
best practices that proactively address public policy challenges such as human trafficking,
opioid abuse and personal data privacy.
“Pam Bondi has been one of Florida’s most accomplished Attorneys General and has earned a
reputation among her colleagues as one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the
country. With her unique perspective, experience and stellar reputation, there is no one better
to launch and lead our firm’s national Corporate Regulatory Compliance practice,” said Brian
Ballard, the firm’s President and founder.
During her tenure as Attorney General of Florida, Bondi undertook dozens of major state and
national initiatives, including filing the most comprehensive state litigation regarding the
national opioid crisis. She played a leading role in achieving the National Mortgage Settlement
that ultimately resulted in $56 billion in total relief nationally. In a tremendous victory for
Florida, Bondi sued BP and other responsible parties in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill case and
settled for more than $2 billion in economic relief for Florida alone.
“Serving the residents of the state of Florida for eight years was a privilege and the honor of a
lifetime. With my public service now concluded, I am thrilled to join Brian and the brilliant team
at Ballard Partners,” Bondi said. “The firm’s new Corporate Regulatory Compliance practice will
help our clients design and implement publicly conscious initiatives that will elevate their
corporate responsibility reputation as well as address their critical regulatory challenges. I look
forward to assisting our firm’s clients in these complicated and significant matters.”
Since 2011, Bondi worked aggressively to shut down pill mills, combat opioid abuse, ban
synthetic drugs, end human trafficking, test previously unprocessed sexual assault kits, develop
a school safety app to prevent school shootings, recover more than $1 billion in consumer
protection, antitrust, and false claims matters (not counting the National Mortgage Settlement
and BP), obtain more than $870 million in settlements and judgments through the Medicaid

 Fraud Control Unit, prosecute hundreds of multi-judicial circuit criminal cases, defend Florida’s
laws and constitution, and guard against federal overreach.
Bondi is a fourth-generation Floridian who spent more than 18 years as a prosecutor, trying
cases ranging from domestic violence to capital murder. With her successful first-time run for
office in 2010, Bondi became the first female Attorney General in Florida’s history.
