Financial Poise™ Webinars and West LegalEdcenter are pleased to announce the June 26th premiere of a new webinar series, SECURITIES LAW 2018, which discusses both the fundamentals of the federal securities laws as well as the latest developments in this ever-evolving area of law.

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) June 23, 2018

The federal securities laws, made up of a interwoven collection of Congressional statutes, rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and federal judicial precedent, play a ubiquitous role throughout a company's life-cycle, relevant from the first issuance of founder shares at organization, to the use of equity compensation to reward and incentivize directors, employees and consultants, to offerings of equity and debt in corporate finance transactions, to initial, secondary and alternative public offerings, in mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions and beyond.

This Financial Poise SECURITIES LAW 2018 webinar series features leading securities law experts who will discuss both the fundamentals of the federal securities laws and the latest developments in this ever-evolving area of law.

The first episode of the series, Securities Law: An Overview, airs on June 26th at 2:00 PM CST (Register Here) and features Moderator Vanessa Schoenthaler of Sugar Felsenthal Grais & Helsinger. She is joined by Craig Mordock of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, Alissa Parisi of K & L Gates, and Julia Vax of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP.

Stocks and bonds are easily recognizable as securities, but did you know that promissory notes may also be securities? So can certain joint venture interests and many other types of investment contracts. Then there are cryptocurrency altcoins, which are sometimes securities and sometimes not.

How do you identify a security? What are some of the requirements related to offering and selling securities? How do they differ between private and public companies? What happens if you fail to comply with securities laws? How has legislation like the JOBS Act, the FAST Act changed the way in which companies offer and sell their securities? In this webinar our expert panel provides you with a high-level overview of the federal securities laws as well as tangible examples and practical advice in answer to these and many more questions.

The SECURITIES LAW 2018 webinar series is produced by Financial Poise.™ Future episodes in the series include "Private Offering Exemptions and Private Placements," airing on July 24th and "Advanced Topics: Public Company Reporting," airing on August 21st. Each episode airs at 2:00 PM CST. All episodes premiere live through West LegalEdCenter and then are made available on-demand.
