Former U.S. Attorney for Nevada Gregory Brower is joining a law firm with offices in Las Vegas.

Snell & Wilmer LLP said Monday Brower will be a partner at the firm, which has more than 400 attorneys practicing in eight offices, including Los Cabos in Mexico.

Brower was Nevada's U.S. attorney for nearly two years and announced plans to step down last month.

He will be replaced by Daniel Bogden, who served as U.S. attorney for Nevada from 2001 to 2007 before becoming one of nine federal prosecutors told to resign by senior Bush administration Justice Department officials.

Brower is a Republican former state assemblyman and general counsel to the federal Government Printing Office.

The firm says Brower will focus on civil litigation, corporate compliance matters and administrative law issues, among other things.
