Overview

Why You Should Attend
In recent years, the Department of Justice, the SEC, the CFTC, and other U.S. and foreign agencies have pressed forward with a white collar enforcement program of unprecedented scope and severity. The recent changes in the U.S. administration have created additional uncertainty about what to expect in this arena.  With a spotlight on the financial services sector, the authorities have advanced novel theories and have exacting draconian penalties. The government’s enforcement agenda is broad and complex, encompassing foreign corrupt practices, accounting fraud, market manipulation and other trading violations, securities fraud, cyber security, and public corruption.  Based on public statements, the government appears to remain committed to the prosecution of individuals as well as corporations.  

This unique program will give you the background and tools necessary to deal with white collar cases and civil enforcement actions, and to design and implement effective compliance and risk management strategies. You will hear directly from current and former high-level officials in many of the country’s top enforcement agencies – including the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Department of Justice Antitrust Division, and the New York Attorney General’s Office — as well as in-house counsel and leading defense practitioners, about the current and future priorities for the government and the practical implications for your company or clients.
