Securities Regulation and Enforcement Series - Season 2 Finale: A Year of Change, Challenges, and What Comes Next

In the final episode of Season 2, Valerie Mirko, Partner at Armstrong Teasdale LLP and leader of the firm’s Securities Regulation and Litigation Practice, joins William Nelson, Director of Public Policy and Associate General Counsel at the Investment Adviser Association, to recap a truly momentous year - one that brought a new administration, a new SEC Chairman, and the longest government shutdown in history.

Valerie and William reflect on key themes and conversations from throughout the season, revisiting episodes on digital assets, artificial intelligence, corporate governance, and SEC examination and enforcement priorities. They also look ahead to 2026, offering insights into what the next six to twelve months may hold for the regulatory and policy landscape.

To close out the season, we extend a heartfelt thank-you to all our incredible guests, to the D.C. Bar, and to you - our listeners - for your support and for making this podcast possible.
