Overview
Please join members of Steptoe's Commercial and Financial Services Litigation practices for a complimentary webinar on the expanding territorial reach of securities laws affecting, or involving conduct within, the United States. These laws create risks for companies listing any class of shares or securities on US exchanges, and those otherwise trading shares or offering them in the US. During this webinar, our seasoned team of presenters will provide practical strategies and solutions to help you mitigate risk.
Following the current period of unprecedented market volatility, securities and shareholder lawsuits are likely to exceed even the record-breaking pace set over the last two years. Prudent steps taken now by boards can help to mitigate risk in these proceedings, which can pose significant financial and reputational threats.

- Territorial reach of US securities and derivatives laws
- Jurisdiction of US courts over non-US companies and people
- The lifespan of a typical case
- Recent trends in filings
Steptoe Speakers:
