SEC Names Deputy Enforcement Director
WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission, in an effort to rebuild its enforcement division, hired a former federal prosecutor as deputy enforcement director Lorin Reisner, who was a federal prosecutor in New York in the early 1990s, will join from Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.
Mr. Reisner's appointment is the latest shakeup in the enforcement ranks. The SEC's enforcement division has been criticized for missing leads that could have led to the discovery of Bernard Madoff's multibillion investment fraud, among other problems.
To shore up the agency's reputation, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro brought in former federal prosecutor Robert Khuzami to reinvigorate the division. He recruited George Canellos, also a former New York prosecutor, to lead the agency's New York office. Mr. Reisner's hire fills out that group of newer blood.
Mr. Khuzami is working on a significant reorganization of the enforcement division, including creating specialized units to focus on specific areas, such as structured financial products.
"Lorin has demonstrated throughout his career the characteristics critical to protecting the nation's investors -- a remarkable legal talent, exemplary work ethic, and a genuine commitment to prosecuting wrongdoers and protecting the public," said Mr. Khuzami in a statement.
Mr. Reisner, 47, was a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York from 1990 to 1994, where he prosecuted gang and murder cases and worked for three years in the public corruption unit. He overlapped there with Mr. Khuzami.
After leaving the government, he returned to Debevoise, where he began his career. He has represented companies in internal investigations, commercial litigation, and media and intellectual property.
Mr. Reisner said Ms. Schapiro and Mr. Khuzami have brought "a sense of renewed energy" and "intelligent aggressiveness on enforcement issues. I look forward to working with them."
We all wish you much success,
Roberta consented to her e-mail address being published, so here it is in case any of her classmates wish to contact her robira57@cs.com
