New Challenges in Dynamic Markets
One or more presenters were selected from a call for papers.
The subprime crisis and the resulting fallout have placed new pressures on the financial markets, reflected perhaps most vividly in the collapse of Bear Stearns. The sale of mortgage-backed securities has resulted in a flood of litigation, involving underwriters, issuers, and investors. The resulting lawsuits will have to contend with the changing legal landscape created by recent Supreme Court decisions such as Dura Pharmaceuticals, Tellabs and Stoneridge. At the same time, the global financial turmoil has led to a host of reform proposals, including changes to the regulation of private offerings, reform of the rating agencies, and a single financial regulator combining the SEC and CFTC. The papers will address key aspects of the regulatory challenge posed by these developments.
