The past year was marked by a number of enforcement actions and investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other regulators against major actors in the digital assets space. This webinar will focus on SEC Wells Notices and enforcement actions, and lawsuits against the SEC brought forth by the industry players. These cases will likely play an important role in addressing several important securities law issues that will shape the how the industry is regulated in the future. 

In this one-hour session, Nelson Mullins partner Richard Levin, Chair of the firm's FinTech and Regulation practice group, and partners Jeff Kelly, Matthew Lindenbaum, and Rob Lindholm, will examine the basis for these actions, the arguments made by the industry in their defense, the court decisions to date, and the possible outcomes of currently pending cases.

Levin advises clients on FinTech and regulatory issues. He routinely advises firms that have registered with the SEC and FINRA as broker-dealers and alternative trading systems to trade digital asset securities.

Kelly focuses his practice in areas of emerging technology, particularly in areas involving data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital assets, and FinTech.

Lindenbaum represents companies in high-stakes litigation with an emphasis on class action defense in the automotive and financial services industries, including the emerging crypto-currency industry.

Lindholm focuses his practice on government investigations and white collar defense, high-stakes business litigation and class action defense, and e-discovery and litigation readiness.
