Calling Chief Counsel’s Office? Goodbye 2900!

This Friday, the first wave of the SEC gets moved – one floor at a time – starting with Corp Fin. It’s important to note that Staffer phone numbers will change – you will be able to call any old phone number to listen to a message detailing the new number. But Staffers will not be able to access voicemail on their old phones once they move – so don’t leave any messages if a recording says the Staffer has a new number.

For the Chief Counsel’s well-known number – 202.942.2900 – the recording now says that on Monday, April 25th, the number will change to 202.551.3500. Here are the other new phone numbers for Corp Fin announced so far.

[As an aside, some Staffers had some of my old oil paintings in their offices – and they didn’t want them anymore – so I picked them up and you might see them soon on Ebay.].
