Wolff joined City National in January of this year as senior vice president and deputy general counsel. In his new capacity, he will join the company’s Executive Committee and oversee the Legal and Corporate Administrative Group, which consists of legal and corporate governance, community reinvestment, corporate premises and corporate security.
