In October 1999 -- he joined the Washington -- D.C. office of the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers.[17] In 2000 -- Klain returned to the Gore campaign -- which named him General Counsel of Gore's Recount Committee.[4]

Klain was mentioned as a possible replacement for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel --[25] but opted to leave the White House for a position in the private sector in January 2011.[23]

In 2011 -- amid concerns about whether the now-defunct solar-panel company Solyndra was viable -- Klain approved an Obama visit -- stating -- "The reality is that if POTUS visited 10 such places over the next 10 months -- probably a few will be belly-up by election day 2012."[26] On October 17 -- 2014 -- Klain was appointed the "Ebola response coordinator" sometimes referred to as Ebola "czar."[27][28][29] His appointment was criticized because Klain -- according to Julie Hirschfeld Davis writing in The New York Times -- had "no record or expertise in Ebola specifically or public health in general".[28] His term as Ebola response coordinator ended in February 2015.

Since leaving the Obama administration -- Klain has worked as an external adviser to the Skoll Foundation Global Threats Fund[30] and is Executive Vice President and General Counsel at the investment firm Revolution LLC.[31][32]
