Mark D. Cahn has been named a Deputy General Counsel in the SEC’s Office of the General Counsel.
Cahn comes to the SEC from the Washington office of WilmerHale LLP, where he has been a partner in the firm’s Securities Department. In his new role at the SEC, Cahn will be the Deputy General Counsel for Litigation and Adjudication and will help oversee enforcement matters, appellate cases, and adjudications.
Cahn fills a position previously held by Andrew Vollmer, who announced last month that he will soon be leaving the SEC to return to the private sector.
“I’m pleased to welcome Mark to the Commission and the Office of the General Counsel,” says David Becker, general counsel, SEC. “Mark is a splendid lawyer with a breadth of experience that will serve investors and the Commission well. He will be a terrific public servant.”
“I am honored to have the opportunity to join David and the Office of the General Counsel on the many matters of great importance that face the SEC and the investing public during these challenging times,” says Cahn.
