Agenda:

Rebecca A. Beers, Partner

RumbergerKirk

  • Complying with Reg BI and Getting Sued – with the SEC and FINRA turning their examination focus from firms’ implementation of Reg BI to their compliance with Reg BI, how will this affect customer litigation?
    • more viable breach of fiduciary duty claims
    • claims/defenses for violation of Reg BI
    • changes in standard of care for tort claims
    • more discoverable information, etc.
  • Post-Award Litigation – Challenging/Defending Arbitration Awards in the Covid Zoom Hearing Era – will the narrow confines of arbitration vacatur law be expanded in light of challenges presented by zoom hearings?
    • there have been a couple cases where arbitration awards have been challenged because the arbitrators have been sleeping, inattentive, turning off their cameras, walking away from their computers, etc. during the arbitration hearings
    • typically challenges to arbitration awards based on in-hearing arbitrator behavior have not been successful, but will the remote nature of these hearings add an extra element sufficient to expand grounds for vacatur?

Heather B. Middleton, Partner

Murphy & McGonigle, P.C.

  • Covid-19’s impact on arbitration hearings; FINRA administratively postponed in-person hearings; Zoom hearings (leveraging technology),
