Securities practice doesn't always leave much time for you to keep up with all the developments and transactions happening in the market. Because it's hard to leave your desk for a whole day, we've split this conference into a three-part series. This will be your efficient solution to learning about the latest developments.

Leading securities practitioners have curated only the most important big transactions, trends, and hot topics to discuss with you. As always, we look forward to sharing with you the ever-popular and valuable Case Law Update. You will leave this series confident and current.
