Kevin R. Puvalowski, former head of the consumer protection and financial enforcement division at the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), has made a career move which has been the subject of much discussion in the corporate legal arena. Recently announced, Puvalowski has joined the ranks of Petrillo Klein + Boxer as a partner.
His addition to the firm is highly significant given his notable prior engagements. Puvalowski has not only led the financial enforcement division at the NYDFS, but also held notable positions such as deputy special inspector general at the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program and federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. His skills and experience in these roles bring considerable weight to his new post in Petrillo Klein + Boxer.
Furthermore, Puvalowski’s specialty extends beyond regulatory and enforcement spaces. His practice has dealt extensively with white-collar defense and complex civil litigation. This broad range of expertise is expected to be an asset for the firm and its clientele.
