Corporate partner Kenneth Silverman and litigation partner and co-chair Brian Katz published an article in the Securities Regulation Law Journal, Summer 2023 ed. entitled “Quarterly Survey of SEC Rulemaking and Major Court Decisions.” The article reviews the SEC’s rulemaking activities and other decisions relating to federal securities laws from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023. “This quarter,” the authors write, ”the SEC proposed nine new rules and approved three final rules. The SEC's latest rule changes and proposals are largely geared towards modernizing the mechanisms of capital markets infrastructure and bolstering protections to individuals and entities from cybersecurity and privacy risks.”
