Veteran in-house lawyer Lucas Moskowitz is leaving his job as chief of staff at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 1, and the agency has announced promotions for two other in-house counsel.

The commission said Wednesday that deputy chief of staff Sean Memon has been promoted to replace Moskowitz. Memon has been with the agency since May 2017.

Bryan Wood was named to replace Memon as deputy chief of staff. Wood has served as the SEC's director of the Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs since June 2017, where he served as the agency's primary congressional liaison.
