  • Derivatives: Emerging trends and current topics in manipulation; anti-fraud, including misrepresentations; trade practices, including disruptive trading and block trades (pre-hedging); swaps reporting and ancillary issues; and civil litigation.
  • Securities: Current enforcement priorities and litigation update, including issues related to retention of business communications, best execution and payment for order flow, and new SEC and FINRA initiatives.
  • Cryptoassets: An overview and analysis of recent enforcement actions brought by the SEC, CFTC, Department of Justice and various states involving cryptoasset industry participants; thoughts about Tornado Cash including the implications of the recent OFAC sanction against it and DeFi; litigation emanating from Crypto Winter 2022; and insights into how best to respond to government subpoenas and information requests when your entity (hopefully) is solely a third party.
