SEC Taps Gibson Dunn Partner for Enforcement Director

Securities Enforcement Defense Team Chair Jessica Magee was quoted in a Law360 article about the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) selection of David Woodcock to lead its Division of Enforcement. The article highlighted Woodcock's background as a former senior SEC attorney and private practice leader, as well as the significance of his appointment as the agency continues to refine its enforcement strategy. Drawing on her experience serving under Woodcock in the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office, Ms. Magee discussed his leadership approach and readiness to take on the role.

"David will hit the ground running, which is important because investigating and charging companies and individuals is no small thing, and it is imperative that the work be undertaken seriously, credibly and with an unwavering focus on fairness, integrity and the even-handed enforcement of the law," she said.
