WASHINGTON—Covington partner Gerald Hodgkins has been named to Securities Docket's “Enforcement Elite” for 2024, recognizing the best securities enforcement defense counsel in the industry. According to Securities Docket, the list honors professionals who “not only have the right stuff to handle bet-the-company matters, but are also the kind of defensive specialists critical to have on speed-dial should the SEC’s Division of Enforcement come calling.”
Jerry leads Covington's SEC Enforcement practice. He represents financial institutions, public companies, and individuals in investigations and enforcement actions brought by the key financial regulators. A former Associate Director in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement, Jerry has extensive experience in matters before the SEC, with particular focus on public company accounting and disclosure, broker-dealer and investment adviser regulation, and U.S. anti-corruption law. He also represents clients in matters before the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Securities Docket’s “Enforcement Elite” honorees were recognized at an event on November 6 as part of the Securities Enforcement Forum D.C. 2024.
