Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, the largest international firm in the world dedicated solely to litigation and arbitration, with a unique expertise in Securities Enforcement and a deep experience of the SEC, invites you to a one hour webinar on insider trading.
Recently, in a case known as Blaszczak II, the Second Circuit overturned the criminal convictions of several individuals previously charged with insider trading for sharing and trading on “political intelligence.” The decision changes the landscape for prosecutors considering criminal insider trading charges.
In 2020, a divided panel of the Second Circuit held in Blaszczak II that federal prosecutors might rely on a rarely used securities fraud statute to criminalize insider trading. Many feared the decision lowered the bar for prosecutors, making it easier to obtain criminal prosecutions than to prevail on civil charges for alleged insider trading. In Blaszczak II, the court reversed course, and the decision may have far-reaching implications for insider trading prosecutions in the future.
Our expert panel, including seasoned criminal defense attorneys and a former senior member of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, explore the insider trading landscape post-Blasczcak II and discuss the implications for insider trading prosecutions going forward.
