We hosted our first annual Insider Trading Forum for clients. Our experienced litigators led a comprehensive program that explored various aspects of insider trading, including the current state of the law, enforcement priorities, the evolution of insider trading law over time, the challenges of responding to investigations, prosecutions, and enforcement actions, and best practices for compliance. Thank you to our panelists and guests—Todd Newman, Rob Olan, and Chris Worrall—for sharing their insightful experiences after their exonerations in insider trading trials. We also thank the former Galleon Group COO, Rick Schutte, for his insider's view on the Raj Rajaratnam case, and Lisa Baroni for proving guidance on compliance issues. #AOShearman
