Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Securities Enforcement Practice Group congratulates David Woodcock on his appointment, effective today, as the Director of the Division of Enforcement at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
David has been an exemplary co-chair of GDC’s Securities Enforcement Practice Group, a trusted advisor to clients, and a mentor to lawyers at the firm. His deep command of the federal securities laws, sound judgment, and unwavering commitment to the highest professional standards have made him a valued colleague and a leading practitioner in the field.
Commenting on his appointment in an SEC press release, David said:
“I am honored to join the exceptionally talented team in the Enforcement Division and look forward to advancing our vital mission of investor protection”
“My commitment is to lead the division with the highest level of professionalism and rigor as we execute the Chairman’s vision and ensure the integrity of our financial markets”
We are confident that the Division of Enforcement—and the markets more broadly—will benefit greatly from David’s leadership. Though we will miss his day-to-day fellowship, we take pride in seeing him return to the Commission.
Congratulations, David. We wish you every success in this next chapter of your distinguished career!
