Corporate partner Kenneth Silverman and litigation partner Kerrin Klein published an article in the Securities Regulation Law Journal, Fall 2025 ed. entitled “Quarterly Survey of SEC Rulemaking and Major Court Decisions.” The article reviews the SEC’s rulemaking activities and court decisions relating to federal securities laws from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025. "This quarter," the authors write, "the SEC proposed no new rules, approved 19 final rules and issued one concept release. The final rules released this quarter generally withdrew previously proposed rules, provided technical changes to previously approved rules and the extension of compliance dates for other previously approved rules. The SEC published its concept release to solicit input regarding the definition of a foreign private issuer to determine future amendments.”
