In its annual Top Lobbyists list published on October 31, 2012, The Hill recognized Venable partner Tom Quinn as one of DC's top "Hired Guns" in 2012. The list includes Washington's best lobbyists, and highlights two distinct advocacy roles: those who are guns for hire on K street, and those who lead grassroots groups.
The Hill highlighted Quinn's experience, saying "Quinn is active on the fundraising circuit and fluent in finance, having served as counsel to the comptroller of the currency at the Treasury Department."
