We, the partners of Gibson Dunn’s Securities Regulation and Corporate Governance Practice Group, are proud to congratulate our friend and colleague James J. Moloney on his appointment as the Director of the Division of Corporation Finance at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Jim has been an extraordinary leader of our practice, a trusted advisor to clients, and a mentor to generations of lawyers at the firm. His deep knowledge of the federal securities laws, his steady judgment, and his dedication to the highest standards of integrity have made him an invaluable colleague and one of the foremost practitioners in our field.
Jim’s career has been defined by his commitment to public service and his passion for advancing sound, practical regulation. From his early years at the SEC—where he played a central role in drafting Regulation M-A—to his more than two decades at Gibson Dunn counseling public companies on disclosure, governance, and transactional matters, Jim has brought clarity and insight to complex issues at the intersection of business and regulation.
We are confident that the Division of Corporation Finance, and the capital markets more broadly, will benefit greatly from Jim’s leadership as he takes on this important responsibility. While we will miss his daily counsel and camaraderie, we take great pride in seeing him return to the Commission at such a pivotal time.
Congratulations, Jim. We wish you every success in this next chapter of your distinguished career.
