Description
Corporations are often subject to a variety of state and federal standards that govern their conduct. On the one hand, federal regulations provide predictability and uniformity, but in a “one-size-fits-all” manner. On the other hand, state regulations offer flexibility and room for experimentation, but may subject corporations to inconsistent or even incompatible standards. How do corporations balance these tradeoffs when deciding whether to advocate for state or federal regulation? And in balancing those tradeoffs, do they weigh general considerations of federalism? If not, should they?
Our panel of distinguished practitioners will address these questions. This panel is co-sponsored by King & Spalding.

Shawn Fagan, Chief Legal Officer, Citadel

Hester Peirce, Commissioner, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
