Seyfarth to Sponsor 11th Annual Securities Litigation & Enforcement Institute

Seyfarth is pleased to sponsor the 11th Annual Securities Litigation & Enforcement Institute on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023 starting at 9:00 am Eastern.

This full-day program will consist of a number of panels covering important and interesting areas related to developments in securities litigation, derivative litigation, Delaware Law, ESG and importantly the activities of the SEC.  The SEC has been extremely active in 2022 and we expect even more activity in 2023 on issues like climate change, the environment, diversity, SPACs, crypto and ESG.  The challenges in each of those areas are significant and the SEC has indicated, it will be active in the regulation of those areas and the required disclosures relating to them.  We expect the very active role played by Gary Gensler in leading the SEC will continue and will come up during several panels.

The New York City Bar is honored to announce that the keynote speaker will be former United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch will discuss the risks to the Rule of Law in today’s environment.

Seyfarth's Greg Markel will moderate the traditional securities litigation panel, which will he recent Rio Tinto 2nd circuit decision on scheme liability, the Slack case from the 9th circuit and several other important recent cases, as well as a discussion on the latest trends in the number of securities cases filed and the likely reason for changes in filing levels. Gina Ferrari with Greg Markel will be on the panel discussing ESG and many issues relating to it, including its growth in influence, various positive developments in fighting for sustainability, but also push back from some quarters of the economy on the appropriate role for ESG. The panel will include nationally recognized expert on legal ESG.
