Douglas Samuel Zolkind, partner at Debevoise & Plimpton law firm, has filed a notice of appearance on behalf of Ripple Labs, according to a filing in the District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Zolkind is an expert on white collar criminal defense, government investigations, and internal investigations. He was a senior member of the Criminal Division’s Public Corruption Unit of the SDNY.
