The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act continues to bring significant changes to the finance industry. A large number of quality articles and treatises have been written about the Act.
Law firms respond to ‘white-hot’ practice area

LAWBIZ COACHES CORNER: More causes of action than ever

Commentary: Understanding whistleblower bounty rules is critical
If you want something done right, get someone else to do it. That seems to be the federal government’s mantra of late with respect to enforcement of the securities laws.
