Insider Trading

Congress, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have heightened their scrutiny of the trading of stock in the aftermath of recent corporate misconduct scandals. Some cases reach celebrity status (e.g., Martha Stewart) and lawyers practicing and advising corporations on internal trades need to stay abreast of the details and intricacies of these transactions.

This new edition is fully updated and serves as the go-to treatise for securities practitioners, in-house counsel, and any attorney looking for clear and comprehensive information on insider trading liability.
