Coinbase Hires Morgan Stanley Lawyer as It Plans to Go Public
“Coinbase Global Inc., the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange that expects to go public in April, has brought on veteran Morgan Stanley lawyer Ian Rooney as its new head of enterprise compliance,” reports Brian Baxter in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice.
“The San Francisco-based company also hired Molly Abraham this month as an associate general counsel for commercial. She was most recently general counsel at general counsel for flying car startup Kitty Hawk Inc.”
“The latest batch of legal hires, confirmed by Coinbase spokesman Elliott Suthers, comes a month after the company added a new compliance chief and a half-dozen other lawyers, including associate general counsel Lindsay Danas Cohen and product counsel Alexander Zozos and Kenneth Hwang.”
