Law360 Interviews Scott Kimpel About Role of Former SEC Chairman

SEC May Have Added Leader But Personnel Problems Persist

Law360

Scott Kimpel told Law360 that as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission welcomes new chairman Mary Jo White when she is confirmed by the Senate, former chairman Elisse Walter could remain at the agency until her term expires at the end of 2013, but likely won't because "she’s had a lengthy, productive and very distinguished career … being the SEC chairman is the capstone to all that." Kimpel's practice encompasses a wide range of matters involving the securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and corporate governance, among others.
