Bingham continues to grow its securities practice

Bingham McCutchen LLP, a large Boston law firm with offices nationwide, said it is continuing its strategic expansion of its international securities practice with the addition of two partners to its Washington office.

The two new partners are Michael D. Wolk and Amy N. Kroll, formerly of Foley & Lardner LLP.

Wolk is a former vice president and chief counsel of the Market Regulation Department at what is now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the nongovernmental regulator for securities firms doing business in the United States.

Kroll is a former assistant general counsel at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Our goal is to continue to build upon our core practice strengths to
remain a market-leader in the securities area to better serve clients'
legal needs nationally and internationally," Bingham chairman Jay
