The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that General Counsel Brian Cartwright will be leaving the agency to return to the private sector. During his tenure, he helped shape the Commission’s major policy and regulatory initiatives and counseled the Commission on virtually every matter that came before it, including enforcement actions, rulemakings, appellate briefs and adjudications.
Cartwright will remain with the Commission for a period of time, during which he will not entertain private-sector employment opportunities so that he may continue to serve the Commission on a full range of matters.
