O’Melveny Hires 2 Cleary Gottlieb Partners to Expand Financial Services Regulatory Practice

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg Law · Jun 22

James R. Burns and Brant K. Brown joined O’Melveny’s Washington office as financial services regulatory partners, adding two senior lawyers from Cleary Gottlieb.
More than 20 years of working together underpins the pair’s trading and markets practice, which advises broker-dealers, exchanges, clearing agencies, private fund advisers and other market participants.
Burns brings senior leadership experience at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, while Brown previously served at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The hires strengthen O’Melveny’s regulatory bench in Washington as firms compete for lawyers with deep securities-market and enforcement expertise.
