Randall Lee, who recently stepped down as regional director, is opening up an L.A. office for the firm of WilmerHale, which specializes in big-league securities law (WorldCom, UnitedHealth, etc.). Lee is no slouch himself, having worked on cases involving Gemstar, Homestore, Global Crossing, Tenet Healthcare and a bunch of others. Actually, WilmerHale has a long record of hiring former SEC officials. Prior to joining the SEC, Lee was an Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles from 1994 to 2001. Lee was replaced in July by Rosalind R. Tyson, who was named Acting Regional Director of the SEC’s L.A. office. (WilmerHale release, SEC release)
