Eva Carman Presents at University of Chicago Law School Conference on Federal Financial Regulation

Litigation & enforcement partner Eva Carman spoke at an event at the University of Chicago Law School on January 24 titled “The Future of Financial Regulation in a New Presidential Administration.” Panelists also included The Honorable Kristin N. Johnson (Commissioner, Commodity Futures Trading Commission), Paul Cellupica (General Counsel, Investment Company Institute) and individuals who previously held senior positions at the SEC (former Directors of the Enforcement, Investment Management and Corporation Finance Divisions).

Eva was invited to be a part of a two person panel with Gurbir Grewal, Partner at Milbank LLP and former head of the SEC Division of Enforcement, and moderated by Erik Gerding, Professor of Law at UC Boulder and former director of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance, on the future of enforcement.

The event explored the issues confronting federal financial regulators at this moment of transition from one presidential administration to another, and included insight into what personnel and policy changes mean for entities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, their priorities and theories of regulatory enforcement, and the operational and organizational challenges overseen by an agency’s chief of staff.
