SAN FRANCISCO — William Hinman, who recently retired as a partner in Simpson Thacher & Bartlett’s Silicon Valley office, has been named the head of the Division of Corporation Finance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Hinman will head up the division which reviews securities filings to monitor compliance with disclosure and accounting requirements.
Hinman’s appointment comes one week after former Sullivan & Cromwell partner Jay Clayton, who represented some of the biggest names on Wall Street while in private practice, was confirmed by the Senate to head the SEC. In a press release announcing the appointment on Wednesday, Clayton said that Hinman “has spent the last 37 years working in our public and private markets, and he understands the SEC’s mission to promote capital formation while ensuring that investors have the information necessary to make informed decisions.”
