At the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section’s inaugural Annual Meeting in Chicago, Partner Jay Baris will speak on a panel entitled “Money Market Fund Reform Arrives (Finally): What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been!” This panel will be moderated by Investment Companies & Investment Advisers Subcommittee Chair Andrew Donohue, who served as Director of the SEC’s Division of Investment Management during the late, unlamented financial crisis and will analyze the dramatic history and implications of money market reform in light of the new regulations adopted by the SEC on July 23, 2014. The other panelists are Patrick McCabe, Senior Economist with the Federal Reserve; Sara Ten-Sietoff, Assistant Director in the Rulemaking Office of the SEC’s Division of Investment Management; Robert Plaze, a partner at Stroock, Stroock & Lavan who served at the SEC in various senior positions for nearly 30 years; and Karrie McMillan, former General Counsel of the Investment Company Institute responsible for the ICI’s comments on the 2010 and 2014 rulemakings, who also worked at the SEC.
In addition, Partner Paul “Chip” Lion will become the President of the Business Law Section after the meeting.
