Goldman General Counsel Search Complicated as Ruemmler Stays On as Adviser

- Senators Elizabeth Warren and Raja Krishnamoorthi have pressed Solomon for answers on why Ruemmler was retained and the scope of her advisory role.
- Michael Bosworth is currently acting general counsel; the prolonged transition is a corporate-governance overhang for Goldman at a sensitive moment for Wall Street legal chiefs.
