Klein and Johnson sign 6

KLEIN AND JOHNSON SIGN SIX: Izzy Klein and Matt Johnson have signed their first six clients at their new lobbying shop, the Klein/Johnson Group: Burford Capital, Civitas Capital Management, CVS Health, First Data, the New York State Broadcasters Association and Oracle. Five of the six are clients of either the Podesta Group, where Johnson was a principal before the firm’s implosion late last year, or Roberti Global, where Klein was a managing partner before leaving to start the new firm. (PI reported last month that Klein and Johnson would be signing Civitas, First Data and Oracle.)
