David Massey was highlighted in “David Massey on the Move to Perkins Coie and Corporate Crime Enforcement in the Age of Biden,” an article in Corporate Crime Reporter, regarding his move with other Kibbe & Orbe (formally Richards Kibbe & Orbe) attorneys to the firm and the potential uptick in white collar and corporate crime enforcement under the Biden administration.

“Perkins Coie approached Richards Kibbe about the possibility of some kind of combination,” David told Corporate Crime Reporter in an interview last month. “There came a time when that option appeared to be a strong one for the litigation group. We took that opportunity and have now joined.”

“I anticipate an uptick in white collar and corporate crime enforcement. The Trump administration was focused on other areas like immigration and in the securities area, retail focused investigations.”

“The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair is Gary Gensler. That’s a traditional and aggressive white collar enforcement pick. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPA) pick Rohit Chopra is also considered an aggressive enforcement pick.”
