I enjoyed working on this piece in the New York Law Journal on white-collar and regulatory enforcement trends to watch in the rest of 2024. The article discusses the potential for enforcement activity in light of (i) DOJ and CFTC efforts to further incentivize and protect whistleblowers, (ii) SEC and DOJ's recent success in employing novel theories of insider trading enforcement, (iii) the additional resources DOJ has devoted to sanctions and export control cases, and (vi) the SEC's focus on so-called "AI washing." #securitiesenforcement #commoditiesenforcement #triallawyers #whitecollarcrime
In his New York Law Journal article, Brendan Quigley looks at notable developments and trends across the white collar and regulatory enforcement arena:

In a recent Law360 article regarding its interview of SEC Enforcement Director, “ 📣 [Gurbir] Grewal said that when firms facing enforcement actions haven’t voluntarily alerted the SEC to the misconduct at hand, it’s more difficult for the Division of Enforcement to recommend a no-penalty resolution to the commission, which ultimately decides whether to bring an enforcement action.” This underscores the importance of transparency and proactive communication in the face of potential enforcement actions.

SEC Held to Have Again Violated APA in an Arbitrary and Capricious Manner "Why did the court invalidate the rules? The order today followed the court’s earlier determination, on October 31, 2023, that the SEC acted arbitrarily and capriciously, in violation of the APA, by failing to respond to comments in the rule-making process and by failing to conduct the proper cost-benefit analysis that the APA requires. Referring to the thirty-day period ending on November 30, 2023, which the SEC unsuccessfully sought to extend, the court vacated the rule and stated: 'That thirty-day period has come and gone. The SEC claims to have ‘worked diligently to ascertain the steps necessary to comply with the Court’s remand order.’ Yet the agency has nothing to show for its efforts. It returns to this court empty-handed, admitting that it ‘was not able to 'correct the defects in the rule' within 30 days.’ The rule remains no less flawed—and no less unlawful—than it was on October 31, 2023.'" https://lnkd.in/eXN-3idC #sec #seccompliance #securitieslaw #stockrepurchases #APA #administrativelaw #garygensler #crypto

Explainer-What is the US SEC's in-house court under Supreme Court review? The U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule in coming days on whether to curtail the Securities and Exchange Commission's use of in-house judges to adjudicate enforcement actions, with potentially big implications for other agencies. The court last year decided to take up the Biden administration's appeal of a lower court's ruling that deemed the SEC's in-house tribunal proceedings unconstitutional. https://lnkd.in/e-QweZXP #CroneLawGroup #InternationalLawFirm #SecuritiesLaw #CorporateFinance #LegalExpertise #CapitalMarkets #MergersAndAcquisitions The Crone Law Group, P.C.
