Sean McKessy in BNA Securities Law Daily, 12/23/16.
“[Phillips & Cohen partner Sean McKessy] took what he knew from previous SEC and corporate experience and dived right into the whistle-blower world and quickly became proficient,” Thomas A. Sporkin of Buckley Sandler LLP, Washington, and former chief of the SEC’s Office of Market Intelligence told Bloomberg BNA in a telephone conversation. “He was a fantastic manager, motivator and public speaker who spread the message that the SEC was inviting whistle-blowers and would treat them well,” Sporkin said. “It was the perfect mix of all these elements that got the office up and running.”
