Goldman Sachs Head Lawyer to Leave
“Goldman Sachs Group Inc’s general counsel Karen Seymour is leaving the bank,” reports in Reuters in their Business News.
“As Goldman’s top lawyer, Seymour played a key role in the bank’s negotiations to settle U.S. and international investigations into the role Goldman Sachs bankers played Malaysia’s 1MDB corruption scandal. Goldman agreed to pay $2.9 billion last year in a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. and overseas regulators in part for breaking anti-bribery laws.”
“Seymour joined Goldman Sachs in 2018 from Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, where she was a partner. She previously led the criminal division at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, where she prosecuted Martha Stewart in 2004.”
