Corporate partner Kenneth Silverman and litigation partner Kerrin Klein published an article in the Securities Regulation Law Journal, Winter 2024 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 July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024. "This quarter," the authors write, "the SEC proposed one new rule and approved seven final rules. The final and proposed rules released this quarter continue the SEC’s trend of increasing the scope and transparency of information available to investors."
