New York private equity firm Blue Wolf Capital Partners brought in Patton Boggs, LLP equity partner Charles Miller to join the firm as a partner. Miller’s addition resumes a trend witnessed elsewhere across the private equity landscape, as sponsors prepare for the looming registration requirements established as part of the Dodd Frank legislation.

In addition to origination and oversight responsibilities, Miller will serve as Blue Wolf’s chief compliance officer.

Miller should be intimately familiar with his new employer, as he has served counsel to Blue Wolf since 2005. An equity partner at Patton Boggs since 1997, more recently Miller has served as the deputy managing partner at the firm and from 2004 to 2007 chaired its business department.

Others, such as Avista Capital Partners and Pinebridge, have brought on additional oversight in the wake of the new registration requirements.
