EXCERPT: The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority named Bradley Bennett, a partner at law firm Baker Botts LLP, as head of its enforcement unit, the industry-funded brokerage regulator said. Bennett, 47, will replace acting enforcement director James Shorris on Jan. 1, Washington-based Finra said today in a statement. He will be responsible for managing a 300-member enforcement staff in 17 U.S. offices, Finra said. Bennett, who serves as co-chairman of the white collar and corporate investigations group at Baker Botts in Washington, has represented corporate officers and investment advisers in Finra and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probes of accounting fraud, insider trading and financial disclosure, according to the law firm’s website. “It’s a tremendous professional privilege for me to have the opportunity to work with people as talented as the folks over at Finra and to work on issues as important as the ones they deal with,” Bennett said in a telephone interview. Before joining Baker Botts in 2001, Bennett worked at Miller Cassidy Larroca & Lewin LLP, and spent four years in the SEC’s enforcement unit. He holds degrees in government and law from St. Lawrence University and Georgetown University. |
