Bingham McCutchen has added a new partner to its New York office: Susan Merrill, the former head of enforcement at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Merrill will be joining the firm’s broker-dealer group this week, according to a press release. In the role, Merrill will lead Bingham’s enforcement practice and will advise financial industry clients on regulatory and enforcement matters.
While serving as FINRA’s executive vice president and chief of enforcement, Merrill was responsible for investigating and prosecuting violations of federal securities laws and FINRA rules governing securities firms.
“Susan is a recognized leader in the securities field,” said Bingham Chairman Jay S. Zimmerman. “Her arrival to Bingham exemplifies our investment and commitment to building the strongest securities team and advising clients in the most complex matters, nationally and globally.”
Bingham’s broker-dealer group is made up of 75 lawyers. Overall, the firm has 1,100 lawyers in 12 locations in the United States, United Kingdom and Asia.
