With the significant personnel and policy changes implemented by the Trump Administration across the federal government, there has been a notable shift in enforcement priorities. This shift may lead to an expansion of state enforcement activity, including in securities enforcement. Please join WilmerHale for a one-hour webinar on what to expect in the months ahead in the increasingly complex state AG and securities enforcement landscape.
This program will feature WilmerHale Partners and State Attorneys General Practice Co-Chairs Paul Connell and Swain Wood, and Securities Litigation and Enforcement Partner Benjamin Neaderland. The panelists will provide an overview of the evolving securities enforcement landscape, including:
- why firms and issuers, including those dealing in crypto, should prepare for the expansion of state enforcement activity;
- the wide reach of state “Blue Sky” laws;
- states’ efforts to fill federal enforcement gaps; and
- how the increase in state enforcement actions could cause a rise in tensions with the Trump Administration.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions during the webinar. This program is being prepared with the intention to offer CLE credit for attendees who join the live presentation.
WilmerHale has been accredited by the New York State and California State Continuing Legal Education Boards as a provider of continuing legal education. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit in California and non-transitional credit in New York. This program, therefore, is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit for experienced New York attorneys only. Attendees of this program may be able to claim England & Wales CPD. WilmerHale has been approved as a Colorado Certified Provider, as recognized by the Colorado Supreme Court Continuing Legal and Judicial Education Committee. We will apply for Colorado CLE (after the program) if requested. The type and amount of credit awarded will be determined solely by the Colorado Supreme Court. New Jersey grants reciprocal credit for programs that are approved in New York. We can also issue Connecticut credit. All attendees, regardless of jurisdiction, will receive a uniform certificate of attendance that shows the states in which the program was approved. Attendees who need credit in another jurisdiction can use the uniform certificate of attendance to self-apply. CLE credit is not available for on-demand webinar recordings.
