Prerequisites:

None

Description

As a result of the recent economic turmoil caused by ponzi schemes and the sub-prime mortgage debacle, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revamped its entire investigative process. In a follow up to his CLE course  "Transparency at the SEC: A Response to the Current Financial Crisis," former SEC enforcement attorney Ernest Badway discusses the roots of the crisis within the SEC and the steps taken by the commission to reorganize the Enforcement Division.   Badway provides a helpful overview of the significant improvements made to the investigative procedures, including how the SEC now handles complaints, opens MUIs,  serves subpoenas and conducts witness interviews.   This program also covers SEC enforcement recommendations and practical tips for attorneys who litigate these cases in front of both the SEC administrative and federal courts.  Badway concludes with predictions for future SEC enforcement actions, and advises practitioners on how to advise their clients to avoid being subject to these investigations. This presentation is ideal for securities attorneys and accountants seeking updates on the SEC investigation process, and is also useful for all professionals interested in familiarizing themselves with the steps involved in SEC enforcement cases.

I. Understand The Current Economic Turmoil
II. Be Able to Understand SEC Investigations
III. Know how to Conduct Witness Interviews and Testimony
IV. Recommendations

Exceptional! Despite speaker's often representation that he was "boring" he was very engaging. He demonstrated an enthusiasm and knowledge that shows he enjoys not only the subject, but teaching. I have taken his other courses and will take the Dodd-Franks presentation also.

Excellent speaker - I dont practice in this area at all but was entirely interested and captivated with the subject matter and the excellence of the presentation.

Linda (Alexandria, VA)

Excellent! A "Fair and Balanced" view of the SEC. Having recently attended a recruiting event at the SEC where the self-promotion was quite evident, I appreciate thoughtful analysis of the procedure, law, and policy related to securities enforcement. (And I think I'll remain in private sector representation. . .)
