"Our mission is to help companies understand their regulatory compliance requirements, and this workshop will play a critical role in offering practical suggestions for issuers."

Liazos; Bingham McCutchen partner Michael O'Brien; Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault partner Brian Pastuszenski; and Hale & Dorr senior partner Patrick J. Rondeau.
