Wall Street has greeted Gary Gensler's nomination as Chair of the SEC with some trepidation, perhaps with good reason. Congress, by contrast, may have presented him with a powerful signing bonus.
During Gensler's tenure at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), he transformed the agency into one of the federal government's enforcement powerhouses. On the other hand, however, Gensler's credentials — including two decades at Goldman Sachs, and a recent stint as a professor at MIT — suggest that he will be more than just a tough cop. He also brings deep experience in the financial markets and serious engagement with emerging issues such as cryptocurrency regulation.
Regardless of his enforcement priorities, Gensler's SEC, including his yet-to-be-named Director of the Division of Enforcement, will benefit from the expansion of the SEC's powers that Congress included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed on the first day of the new year. Those provisions expand the statute of limitations for equitable remedies in securities cases, and create a new statutory disgorgement remedy for the SEC.

Law firms and companies in the professional services space must recognize that clients are conducting extensive online research before making contact. Prospective buyers are no longer waiting for meetings with partners or business development professionals to understand the firm's offerings. Instead, they are seeking out information on their own, and they want to do it quickly and efficiently.
Through a balanced approach that combines incentives with accountability, firms can navigate the complexities of returning to the office while maintaining productivity and morale.
The paradigm of legal administrative support within law firms has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last decade. But this begs the question: are the changes to administrative support successful, and do law firms feel they are sufficiently prepared to meet future business needs?
Counsel should include in its analysis of a case the taxability of the anticipated and sought after damages as the tax effect could be substantial.
