Julie Riewe to Debevoise from SEC

Julie Riewe, the former co-chief of the Asset Management Unit of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement, has joined Debevoise’s white collar defense practice in Washington, D.C. office.

At the SEC, Riewe oversaw a staff of nearly 80 attorneys, industry experts and other professionals in 12 SEC offices, and was responsible for directing the SEC’s enforcement efforts involving private equity and hedge funds, registered investment companies, BDCs and other asset managers.

Riewe is the second former co-chief of the Asset Management Unit to join Debevoise. In 2012, the firm welcomed Robert B. Kaplan as a partner in the Washington, D.C. office.

“Adding a partner of Julie’s caliber expands Debevoise’s role as the go-to law firm for asset management enforcement,” said Debevoise partner Bruce E. Yannett. “The SEC’s enforcement activity against asset managers has become statutorily entrenched with the passage of Dodd-Frank and institutionally entrenched by the creation of the Asset Management Unit, making Julie’s arrival particularly timely and beneficial to our many clients in this space.”

Riewe received her undergraduate degree, J.D. and master’s in public policy from Duke University and, upon graduation from law school, clerked with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, after which she joined a Washington, D.C. law firm as an associate before moving into government service.
