Cornerstone Research hosted a virtual presentation by Joseph Grundfest of Stanford Law School, former SEC Commissioner Robert Jackson Jr., and former SEC Chair Mary Jo White.
Joseph Grundfest of Stanford University, former SEC Commissioner Robert Jackson Jr., and former SEC Chair Mary Jo White discussed the SEC’s major challenges, and evaluated both the Commission’s progress and the problems it continues to face on multiple fronts. Jennifer Marietta-Westberg of Cornerstone Research served as moderator.

The panel debated a range of topics, including:
- Pending disclosure rules related to ESG and their likely fate upon judicial review
- Regulation of cryptomarkets and decentralized financial services (DeFi)
- The policy of seeking admissions of guilt in a larger number of settlements
- The new, liberalized approach to 14a-8 shareholder proposals
