Debevoise & Plimpton LLP partners Robert B. Kaplan and Jonathan R. Tuttle have been recognized as two of the “best and brightest securities enforcement defense lawyers” by Securities Docket, the Global Securities Litigation and Enforcement Report.

The “Enforcement 40” list is compiled by Securities Docket as the publication looks to answer the question, “Who would you hire if you, your company or a family member was faced with an important SEC enforcement matter?” The list is developed after considering nominations, input from numerous senior global securities litigation lawyers and considerable research.

Mr. Kaplan is a litigation partner based in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office whose practice focuses on a broad range of securities-related enforcement and compliance issues. Prior to joining Debevoise, Mr. Kaplan was Co-Chief of the Asset Management Unit of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement.

Mr. Tuttle is a litigation partner based in the firm’s Washington D.C. office whose practice focuses on enforcement investigations and proceedings, as well as securities class actions, shareholder derivative suits, internal corporate investigations and a variety of other securities and finance-related litigation and regulatory matters.
