On March 9, 2010, Arthur S. Greenspan was one of three presenters in a webcast titled "Changes Within the SEC Enforcement Division: A Practical Perspective," hosted by West LegalEdcenter.
Under the guidance of a new Director, the SEC’s Enforcement Division has announced a variety of changes and new initiatives, including the use of cooperation agreements and deferred prosecution agreements, the creation of specialized subject-matter units, an increased focus on "market intelligence," and a streamlining of internal procedures. Mr. Greenspan and his co-presenters analyzed the changes and how they will impact companies and executives. The program also addressed how external factors, including public criticisms of the SEC by Congress and the courts, may affect the priorities of the Enforcement Division, and touched upon basic guidelines to consider in any SEC investigation or proceeding.
