In recent years, US securities regulators have increasingly focused on the regulated entities’ compliance personnel, holding many individually liable for the deficiencies in their firm’s handling of its compliance obligations. The regulators deem compliance officers the gate keepers whose efforts should detect and prevent securities laws violations at the firm.

Join Practical Law and Norton Rose Fulbright for a free 75-minute webinar that will discuss recent trends and issues in this field. The webinar presenters will discuss several topics, including:

  • Different approaches US securities regulators use in assessing individual liability of compliance personnel.
  • Recent cases against individual compliance officers by various regulators.
  • Best practices for minimizing the risk of a regulatory action or sanctions against compliance professionals at a broker-dealer or investment advisor.

A short Q&A session will follow.

Presenters:
Kevin James Harnisch, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP
Ilana Beth Sinkin, Associate, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP
Vlad Pavlovic, Senior Legal Editor, Practical Law Litigation (Moderator)

Addressing Environmental Claims and Obligations in Chapter 11

Many companies with significant environmental compliance and clean-up obligations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in recent years due to decreased demand for oil & gas, coal, steel, and other mined assets.

Join Practical Law and IWIRC NY for a webinar in which leading bankruptcy attorneys and advisors from Debevoise & Plimpton, Morrison & Foerster, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, and AlixPartners will discuss strategies for addressing environmental claims and obligations in Chapter 11.
