Litigation Partner Brooke Cucinella was quoted in the Financial Times and Reuter’s Daily Docket on the expected nomination of Damian Williams as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he currently serves as Chief of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Brooke, a former prosecutor at the SDNY, previously worked with Mr. Williams before joining Simpson Thacher and described her former colleague as a brilliant legal strategist. “Having his energy and approach will be really important for this moment of justice reform, particularly sentencing reform, and I think it will be interesting to see what direction he takes the office in,” she said.
