The far-reaching financial services reform legislation means the regulatory environment for broker-dealers and investment advisors will change rapidly. Practitioners need to stay abreast of the changes required by the financial services reform legislation to provide the best counsel to broker-dealer and investment advisor clients.
Participants will be updated on the Dodd-Frank Act and get practical advice about the steps firms need to take to assist clients with the necessary changes.
There will be a panel discussion led by leading legal and compliance professionals, including Jennifer B. McHugh (invited), senior advisor to Chairman Mary L. Schapiro, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; Alexander C. Gavis, vice president and associate general counsel, Fidelity Investments; and Mark Menchel, executive vice president and general counsel for regulation, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Topics include Legislative and Regulatory Developments; The Uniform Standard of Care: What Steps Broker-Dealers and Advisors Should be Taking Now; and Designing an Effective Due Diligence Program that Will Withstand Regulatory Scrutiny.
A keynote address will be delivered by Carlo V. di Florio, director, Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
