Brooklyn Law Hosts Compliance Symposium on Feb. 8
Brooklyn Law School hosts a symposium on Feb. 8 on The Growth and Importance of Compliance in Financial Firms: Meaning and Implications. Here is the description:
Over the past decade, the compliance function in financial firms, in particular broker-dealers and investment advisers, has grown in size and importance. While this phenomenon is an integral part of life for compliance officers and legal practitioners who advise these firms, compliance has received relatively little attention from legal scholars. This symposium will provide the opportunity for financial and securities law scholars to evaluate and criticize, from their respective theoretical perspectives, the growing importance of compliance in financial firms, as well as comment upon particular compliance duties and issues. The conference includes noted legal practitioners, compliance specialists and regulators, who can assist the scholars in their reflection and offer their own perspectives and insights on the compliance phenomenon.
CLE credit is available. More information, including the agenda, is at the Brooklyn Law website.
