Protecting Your Institution Post-Galleon: Current Insider Trading Issues
September 21, 2010 -- Herrick, Feinstein LLP
Location: 2 Park Avenue, New York, New York


In recent years, the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission have ramped up their enforcement of the insider trading laws. As part of this new enforcement initiative, prosecutors are using investigative tools not traditionally used in the white collar arena. Prosecutors have also widened the net of targets beyond the classic insider trading targets to a broad array of professionals. Our distinguished panel of experts and Herrick attorneys discussed the current challenges facing the financial industry, recent developments in the insider trading laws and the steps attendees need to take to protect themselves and their institutions. This program included an interactive Q&A session. 

1.5 CLE credits in Professional Practice were offered.

Topics discussed:
New law enforcement tactics
Globalization of insider trading
Maintaining compliance
Recent cases and decisions
