In the past two years, insider trading has been one of the highest enforcement priorities for both the SEC and DOJ. Both agencies have devoted unprecedented resources to investigating insider trading violations, employed wiretaps and other aggressive investigative techniques, and ventured into new substantive territories. The result has been an unprecedented number of criminal and civil investigations and prosecutions, which have led lawyers, traders, and other securities industry professionals to focus on the sometimes murky boundary between legitimate research and illegality. At this program, a panel of experts from government, industry, and law firms who focus on insider trading issues on a daily basis, will discuss the substantive law of insider trading, with a particular focus on the new frontiers being explored in recent cases. The course will cover the following topics, among others: the core principles and elements of insider trading violations, including under Section 10(b), Section 14(e), and the mail and wire fraud statutes; the interplay of Reg FD and Rule 10b-5; the legitimacy of trading on information obtained from company insiders, including issues of materiality and the "mosaic" theory of investing; the legality of expert networking and channel checking; the line between civil and criminal insider trading violations; current and future DOJ and SEC investigative priorities.
