Former U.S. Senator Bob Casey has taken on two new gigs nine months after losing his bid for a fourth term, writes Molly McVety for PhillyVoice.

Effective September 1, Casey will join Philadelphia-based law firm Dilworth Paxson as a counsel and member of its corporate and business practice group.

The news comes after it was also announced that Casey had also recently joined the his hometown’s University of Scranton as a Leahy Distinguished Fellow in Public Service.

Casey is no stranger to Dilworth Paxson.

Prior to beginning his law school journey, he worked as a paralegal with the law firm. He is a second-generation employee at the firm, as his father Bob Casey Sr. served as a partner at Dilworth Paxson for eight years prior to being sworn in as governor.

“Dilworth Paxson’s values reflect my belief that law is not just a profession, it is a public trust,” Casey said in a statement. “I look forward to the opportunity to bring my decades of experience in statewide public office and my deep knowledge of how to navigate the inner workings of state and federal governments to achieve success for Dilworth Paxson clients.”
