The Buzz w/BCLB: DEI in the Time of Polarization

In striking down Chevron, the Supreme Court has now cut back sharply on the power of federal agencies to interpret the laws they administer— including the SEC. Join us on August 1 at 10:00am PT for an emergency webinar on Beyond Chevron: The SEC, Shareholder Activism, and Corporate Change. What mechanisms will the SEC use to regulate public markets? What is the impact on shareholder activism?
