Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Future of Shareholder Arbitration in Light of SEC's New Policy Statement

Q: If the state doesn't assent to the inclusion of arbitration agreements in corporate governance documents, how does that impact the FAA?

There can be no agreement to arbitrate due to state law restriction, therefore the FAA does not apply in such cases as there is no contractual consent for arbitration.

The Future of Shareholder Arbitration in Light of SEC's New Policy Statement

Q: Can a company whose shares are already registered with the SEC amend their existing corporate governing documents to add an arbitration provision?

Yes, although Delaware law may still bar such provisions under DGCL, other states may allow it without similar restrictions, and the SEC is no longer standing in the way.

AI in Financial Services: Understanding the White House Action Plan – and What It Leaves Out – Part 1

Q: What are the compliance challenges associated with AI regulations?

These regulations can impose heavy operational costs and necessitate audits to ensure compliance with new definitions of AI, which may encompass long-standing systems.

Q: What approach did the Biden administration take to redlining enforcement and how has that changed under the new administration?
