Abstract
The number of securities lawsuits have proliferated across various industries since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. These filings arose from alleged concealed COVID-19 threats, misleading pandemic-related treatments and services, and inadequate disclosure of the pandemic's impact on financial operations and prospects.
Because of the growing threat, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released new guidance on how public companies should respond to economic exigencies posed by the pandemic and urged high-quality disclosures about their operations, liquidity, and capital resources.
In a LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and distinguished professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will present a comprehensive discussion of the current and emerging trends and developments in securities litigation and regulation. Speakers will also discuss significant COVID-19 implications, critical issues, and offer best practices to manage risks amid the pandemic.
Key topics include:
• Securities Litigation and Regulation: Trends and Updates
• Notable Cases
• COVID-19 Implications
• Critical Issues and Challenges
• Best Compliance Strategies
• Regulatory Outlook
