Former Sen. Mel Martinez did not stay out of work long. Following his resignation from the Senate, Martinez’s next job has him working as a consultant for a law firm with offices in Tampa and Washington, D.C.
According to the publication Legal Times, the former Republican senator will likely become a partner with DLA Piper beginning Oct. 1.
DLA Piper’s law firm said the company has 3,500 lawyers in 29 countries throughout the United States, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
The company specializes in legal advice and business consulting.
The former senator would not be allowed to lobby for two years, but can still provide insight.
Martinez announced his resignation in August, though he had more than a year left on his first term. He said he was leaving to spend more time with his family.
