Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young has added a former Vanguard associate general counsel who headed the investment giant’s enterprise growth legal team to its firm’s investment management practice as a partner in Philadelphia, looking to bolster its regulatory expertise on exchange-traded funds.

Brian Murphy worked at Vanguard for just over a decade, leading three different legal teams at the company under his tenure; previously, he served as counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange commission for 10 years, allowing him to accumulate both industry and regulatory knowledge that he will use to help clients.
