Gary Lynch, a former top in-house lawyer at Bank of America Corp. and one-time enforcement chief at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, has returned to Davis Polk & Wardwell as counsel in the firm’s litigation practice.
Davis Polk announced the homecoming on Monday, saying Lynch—who was previously a partner at the firm from 1989 to 2001—would bring a wealth of experience that spans sectors and stands to benefit clients. The news of Lynch’s return to Davis Polk comes on the heels of another recent hire by the firm, which on Thursday announced that Michael Hong would join in New York as a partner in the investment management group.
