In a notable personnel shift within the legal industry, Milbank LLP has announced the appointment of Gurbir Grewal as a partner in its litigation and arbitration group in New York. This move marks Grewal’s transition from his previous role as the director of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Enforcement Division, where he played a pivotal role in managing investigations, enforcement actions, and litigation for the agency. The announcement was made by the firm on Tuesday, as reported by Bloomberg Law.
Grewal’s experience at the SEC is highly regarded, with his tenure characterized by overseeing a breadth of significant enforcement actions and investigative proceedings. This expertise is expected to be a significant asset to Milbank as they continue to enhance their litigation and arbitration offerings in New York—one of the firm’s critical strategic markets.
Milbank’s decision to bring on board a legal professional with such a comprehensive background in securities enforcement is seen as a move aligning with their commitment to providing robust legal counsel and representation for their clients, particularly in the realm of complex securities litigation and arbitration.
