Debevoise & Plimpton, Wall Street Legal Protection
Despite her 1990s reputation for prosecuting John Gotti, Mary Jo White spent the last decade as a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, representing major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. Critics, including Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi, argue that her career has focused on protecting Wall Street CEOs from prosecution, making her a controversial choice for the SEC.
