Debevoise Atty Mary Jo White Named New SEC Chief

Law 360

Scott Kimpel spoke to Law360 about Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP partner, and newly-appointed leader of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, noting that in addition to her broader perspective and private sector experience, she could also bring an appreciation of the burdens that new regulations could impose if they are not carefully considered. Kimpel's practice encompasses a wide range of matters involving the securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and corporate governance, among others.
