A week after leaving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Wenchi Hu is heading to Latham & Watkins, where on Monday she will resume her private practice career as a partner in the firm’s corporate and financial institutions group in New York.
Hu served as an associate director in the SEC’s division of trading and markets, where since August 2015 she has been head of the regulator’s office of clearance and settlement supervision. The role saw Hu oversee clearing agencies, until the announcement of her departure on Jan. 30, 2017.
