Securities Regulation and Enforcement Series: Corp Fin in Flux: What the SEC’s Latest Moves Mean for Issuers and Investors

In this episode of Season 2, A. Valerie Mirko, Partner at Armstrong Teasdale LLP and leader of the firm’s Securities Regulation and Litigation Practice, joins William Nelson, Director of Public Policy and Associate General Counsel at the Investment Adviser Association, for a timely conversation with Michelle Heisner, Partner at Baker McKenzie LLP and a member of the Firm's Global Corporate and Securities Practice Group.

With the SEC keeping law firms and GCs on their toes this summer, this episode dives into three key themes: tighter disclosure requirements, increased scrutiny on foreign issuers, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding ESG regulations. One key takeaway: If you're advising issuers, now is the time to revisit your disclosure playbook. The SEC is signaling change, and companies that adapt early will be better positioned for what's ahead.
