SAN FRANCISCO— Former Acting Attorney General and Deputy
Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice Mark Filip, now a
Chicago-based partner with the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, has
been jointly selected by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern
District of California and Pacific Gas and Electric Company
(PG&E) to serve as Compliance and Ethics Monitor of
PG&E. On January 26, 2017, the Honorable Thelton E.
Henderson, Senior United States District Judge, ordered PG&E to
submit to a five-year period of monitorship as a condition of the
company’s probation following its five felony convictions for
willful violations of the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act. The
jury also convicted PG&E of corruptly obstructing the federal
investigation of the 2010 gas transmission line explosion in San
Bruno. Mr. Filip previously served as a federal judge in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, as well
as an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States
Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.
