Overview

Why You Should Attend
In recent years, insider trading has been a critical area of criminal and civil enforcement, and it will likely remain so for some time to come.  Following the Second Circuit’s ground-breaking decision on tippee liability in United States v. Newman, and the Ninth Circuit’s decision on the same issue in United States v. Salman, the law’s contours were in flux.  Enter the Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the Salman appeal, and in December 2016, issued its first insider trading opinion in nearly 20 years.  Salman is significant and may assist the government in its ongoing insider trading enforcement efforts.  This program will discuss the state of the law, enforcement priorities in this area, and how clients can avoid the government’s crosshairs.  Don’t miss out on this highly topical program.  Our faculty of experienced litigators -- including current and former DOJ prosecutors and SEC and CFTC enforcement attorneys -- will address the change in law, current and future areas of enforcement, and best compliance practices to prevent insider trading.
