Keynote


Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations (SPACs) have exploded in recent years,
far overtaking traditional IPOs as a means of going public. The pace of
so-called de-SPAC transactions has also accelerated, as has the pace of lawsuits
asserting securities fraud in connection with either the SPAC formation, the
de-SPAC transaction, or sometimes even both.




The panel will focus on SPAC litigation trends and highlight the following
topics:

• SEC commentary and enforcement activity
• The applicability (or not) of the PSLRA statutory safe-harbor to the de-SPAC
• Current state of case law
• Best practices to reduce litigation exposures

Managing Conflicts of Interest in Regulatory Oversight






How are the SEC and the CFTC managing conflicts of interest raised by changing
market structure where entities do more than one function, such as an exchange
and an FCM? Does this lead to greater accessibility or greater conflicts, and
what can be done?

trends impacting the use of derivatives by asset managers. How are sell-side
firms responding to increased demand off the back of regulatory changes, such as
