The Securities & Exchange Commission has named as co-directors of its enforcement division Andrew Ceresney, a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, and George Canellos, who was acting director of the division. Ceresney, 41, follows former Debevoise partner Mary Jo White, who was recently confirmed as SEC chief. Ceresney represented clients in white-collar criminal and SEC investigations, internal corporate investigations and civil litigation. Before joining Debevoise in 2003, he served as a deputy chief appellate attorney in the Southern District U.S. Attorney’s Office, where he was a member of the securities and commodities fraud task force and the major crimes unit.
Canellos, 48, had been the SEC’s deputy director of enforcement under Robert Khuzami and became acting director in January, when Khuzami stepped down. He served as director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office, overseeing probes and compliance inspections in the New York area.
