In June of this year, the SEC implemented new rules that address the deregistration process for foreign private issuers. This rule should vastly simplify the process for companies that are contemplating listing securities on a U.S. stock exchange or raising funds through a U.S. registered offering. As with any sweeping change in regulation, there are number of options to consider in order to ensure that your company is best positioned to fully realize its benefits.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled panel of distinguished experts to help make these policies clear to the organizations most impacted. The panel will present their findings, which include
“Best Practices” in a two-hour teleconference.
About Deborah R. Meshulam
Ms. Meshulam has over two decades of experience trying the full range of cases arising from allegations of securities law violations and related breaches of fiduciary duty as well as advising clients on securities law, regulatory, and corporate governance issues. She defends clients in SEC enforcement matters, securities class actions and derivative lawsuits, complex financial, accounting, and corporate disputes, and FINRA (formerly NASD) and Exchange proceedings. She also represents clients in rulemaking proceedings and in SEC inquiries from the Divisions of Corporate Finance and Market Regulation, the Office of Chief Accountant, and the Office of Compliance Inspection and Examinations.
Her securities practice also includes counseling clients on a wide range of corporate governance and regulatory matters, including financial reporting and disclosure issues, the design and implementation of compliance programs under the securities laws and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its implementing regulations, issues arising from the use of the Internet by public companies, and issues faced by brokers/dealers, investment advisers, and other regulated entities.
Ms. Meshulam regularly conducts internal investigations on behalf of public companies or their audit committees, often relating to accounting issues, alleged securities law violations and employee misconduct. She also regularly advises clients on securities law compliance and litigation avoidance, focusing on both traditional compliance issues as well as new challenges raised by passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. At the request of the SEC, she has acted as a Receiver to assist the agency in locating and collecting assets hidden by an individual who committed securities fraud. She has written on securities law issues for a number of legal publications and is a frequent speaker at numerous professional programs on securities related topics and issues.
Before coming to DLA Piper, Ms. Meshulam served as Assistant Chief Litigation Counsel of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a senior-level position. As lead trial counsel, she prosecuted a number of cases, involving complex financial fraud, accounting, market manipulation, insider trading, sales practice fraud, and public offering fraud and disclosure issues. She also helped develop SEC enforcement policy, in conjunction with other agency divisions, helped write the SEC’s then current Rules of Practice, and helped implement the agency’s EEOC compliance programs.
Ms. Meshulam represents corporations and individuals in all stages of federal and state civil proceedings, as well as in internal corporate investigations, legislative proceedings, compliance examinations, and regulatory enforcement proceedings and other regulatory inquiries. She has tried cases in the federal and state courts in a number of jurisdictions. She represents clients before the SEC in both regulatory and enforcement matters.
