In a recent development, experienced securities regulator, Jackie Wells, has joined international law firm, McGuireWoods. Assuming the position of a counsel in the securities enforcement and regulatory counseling practice, Wells will be bringing a wealth of experience from her previous post at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
McGuireWoods confirmed this personnel update in an official announcement on Tuesday, where they highlighted Well’s former role as a director in the enforcement department at FINRA. This role, alongside her vast industry experience, positions Wells as a strategic addition to McGuireWoods’ securities enforcement team.
In her new role at the firm, Wells will provide comprehensive legal advice on securities regulatory compliance and enforcement matters to clients in the financial services sector. With a particular focus on broker-dealers and investment advisers, the new legal counsel is set to be a key asset for the firm’s client base.
