Kathryn Ruemmler officially stepped down as Goldman Sachs’ general counsel on June 30. She currently serves as a senior adviser. She also actively interviews candidates for her former role.
Ruemmler’s involvement causes internal friction and unease among potential successors. She resigned from the post following scrutiny over her past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Ruemmler recently testified before a congressional committee regarding her relationship with Epstein. She stated during the hearing that she regretted ever dealing with him. Her continued influence underscores a complex transition for the firm’s legal department.
