This is a webcast of the live New York session.Why you should attend
Capital markets are adjusting to a wide range of evolving regulatory standards which affect the way in which offerings are conducted around the world. At the same time, issuers around the world are subject to changing accounting and corporate governance standards, while market participants navigate new ground in derivative product regulation. Issuers and market participants also face an increasingly active global enforcement environment targeting activities taking place around the world. This program will keep securities lawyers up-to-date on domestic and international regulatory and market developments, bringing together an engaging group of expert practitioners and senior regulators for an in-depth look at how the U.S. securities laws work in the context of a rapidly evolving global regulatory environment.
What you will learn
Some of the areas this year’s program will cover are:
- The latest developments with global regulatory efforts
- Evolving accounting, disclosure and governance standards for issuers
- Current developments with private and public offering practices
- Changes to the global regulation of alternative investment vehicles and derivatives
- Securities enforcement in an increasingly global regulatory environment
Who should attend
This program is aimed at the lawyer with practices involving securities regulation and capital markets. It will be valuable to lawyers in law firms, financial institutions or multinational companies.
