Scott Kimpel told Law360 that Debevoise & Plimpton LLP partner Mary Jo White, who is rumored to be appointed as chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, has a prior role as a prosecutor and a corporate defense attorney, which means she will "have a leg up when it comes to weighing the costs and benefits of proposed rules and regulations." Kimpel's practice encompasses a wide range of matters involving the securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and corporate governance, among others.
