Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathy Ruemmler will resign this summer after documents released by the US department of justice revealed the extent of her ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Goldman chief executive David Solomon has stood by Ruemmler since her close association with Epstein first emerged in 2023. Ruemmler’s departure from Goldman represents one of the most high-profile corporate downfalls from the sweeping disclosures of Epstein’s emails, which have reverberated from Wall Street to Westminster. Before her association with Epstein became public, Ruemmler had a reputation inside Goldman as a well-liked, tight-lipped and accomplished lawyer. Goldman and Ruemmler previously characterised her relationship with Epstein as a “professional” one that involved using her ties to him for business development purposes.
