KPMG LLP announces new national managing principal

KPMG LLP, the US member company of KPMG International, has named David Fine as the national managing principal for legal and regulatory.

Fine's role will involve a collaborative effort with Matt Miner, the firm's general counsel and vice chair of legal, risk management and compliance, to manage and navigate the firm's legal and regulatory engagements and to liaise with the firm’s Management Committee.

Fine's association with KPMG began almost six years ago when he assumed the role of deputy general counsel for litigation and regulatory investigations.

His progression within the firm saw him take on the responsibilities of special counsel to the general counsel and vice chair, following a period as interim general counsel and principal-in-charge of legal, regulatory & compliance.

Prior to his tenure at KPMG, Fine's legal career was marked by his partnership at King & Spalding LLP and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, where he honed his skills in complex litigation and regulatory issues, representing notable accounting firms in judicial and regulatory arenas.

His earlier experiences include his work as an associate at Arnold & Porter LLP and as a judicial law clerk for Judge Richard Nygaard of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Miner said: “This role is designed to build connections across KPMG to identify opportunities in which our legal and regulatory team can bring our skills and knowledge to help the firm grow, while thoughtfully managing risk. David’s experience, dedication and integrity make him the perfect person to do that.”

Fine stated: “I care deeply about the firm and the important role it plays in the capital markets. I look forward to continuing to drive a culture of excellence, integrity and innovation at KPMG LLP.”

As the US constituent of the global KPMG network, KPMG LLP is part of a consortium of independent firms engaged in delivering a spectrum of audit, tax, and advisory services.

In August 2025, the firm updated its leadership across various sectors, with Manish Madhavani helming financial services, Chris Marston managing government and healthcare, and Dave Neuenhaus heading the asset management and private equity division.
