Event Synopsis:
The uptick in securities cases stemming from recent court decisions and trends has been a cutting-edge matter in corporate governance for years. While these lawsuits may not entirely change the setting of securities litigation, they are deemed to spark new challenges and possibly draw tedious enforcement actions.

In this two-hour live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by the Knowledge Group will help you understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the Continuous Growth of Securities Litigation and will explore its opportunities and risks. Speakers will also offer best practices in mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with securities laws.
Key topics include:
• Recent Securities Litigation Developments
• Implications of Recent Supreme Court Decisions
• Common Securities Fraud Violations
• Opportunities, Risks and Consequences
• Risk Mitigation Schemes
• Enforcement Actions and Best Compliance Practices
