Law360

Despite some commissioners’ recent dissents from agency actions supported by SEC Chair Mary Jo White, "The agency seems to be running smoothly,” according to Scott Kimpel in a discussion with Law360. Kimpel believes observers may be wondering why the commissioners felt the need to air their grievances publicly. His practice encompasses a range of matters involving securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and corporate governance. He previously served as counsel to a former SEC commissioner.
