2014 brought a new era of securities regulation, with the changing of the guard at the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) during 2013, and the appointment of Mary Jo White as Chair. Th e SEC made clear that 2014, the year of the organization’s 80th anniversary, would feature stricter enforcement, increased examinations and a continued focus on creating and implementing cultures of compliance and disclosure throughout the industry. Th e Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), a self-regulatory organization (“SRO”) regulated by the SEC, similarly promulgated guidance refl ecting a focus on compliance, supervision and disclosure. James Eccleston and Christine Goodrich of Eccleston Law, LLC detail the regulatory changes and guidance issuesd by FINRA and the SEC.
Hiring Eccleston Law has been one of the best career decisions I have made and this "investment" to maintain my sterling regulatory record has been returned many times over. If you are in a situation where you've been unfairly accused, don't hesitate to talk with Eccleston Law. They are the best.
