Seminar: Defending An SFC Investigation (December 5, 2016)
On December 16, 2016, the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC") announced it would implement new measures to heighten senior management accountability.
Please join us for this lunch time seminar as a distinguished panel of practitioners discusses how senior managers should handle their regulatory obligations and accountability for misconduct that falls within their area of responsibility in light of the new manager-in-charge regime.
