Public Company SEC Enforcement Trends and Practical Considerations

Please join us for a webinar discussing key insights from a report prepared by members of our securities enforcement and corporate business transactions practices.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to maintain a heightened focus on public companies. We expect the SEC to continue dedicating resources to enforcement investigations and actions in the public company space under the new administration, with a particular focus on conduct that harms investors and a decreased emphasis on standalone internal controls violations. We also anticipate a shift in some of the remedies that the SEC seeks in enforcement actions involving public companies and related individuals.
