Partner Christopher LaVigne and associate Brian
Calandra (both New York-Litigation) recently co-authored an
article, titled "Insider Trading Laws and Enforcement,"
published in Practical Compliance & Risk Management for the
Securities Industry.
This article provides a general overview of insider trading laws,
outlines key developments since early 2013, and highlights recent
trends and open issues pending before the Supreme Court. According
to the authors, "Regardless of the evolving standards [in
insider trading laws], the fact remains that insider trading
enforcement actions will continue to remain a priority of both the
SEC and the DOJ. And while the DOJ historically has taken the lead
in prosecuting insider trading offenses, the SEC's recent
success in the Durant case may fore-shadow an increasing role for
this agency in pursuing insider trading cases that lack the proof
necessary for a criminal case."
