Increasingly, companies are targets of simultaneous investigations by FERC,CFTC, and SEC. FERC is now prosecuting not only traditional energy companies, but also hedge funds. In recent enforcement actions, CFTC and FERC together are seeking more than $500 million in penalties and disgorged profits from the same companies.

Learn how to prevent violations and defend against government investigations from leading attorneys who served in enforcement divisions at FERC, CFTC, and SEC. This seminar will provide information every company needs to know, including:

  • FERC/CFTC/SEC jurisdiction over energy companies and hedge funds
  • FERC/CFTC/SEC rules prohibiting fraud and market manipulation
  • Recent FERC/CFTC/SEC cases and enforcement trends
  • Practical examples of trading behavior that is and is not prohibited
  • Strategies to promote compliance and defend against government investigations

If your company would like to present a training program in-house, please contact Debbie Swanstrom at 202.457.6565 or . Presenting a program internally could save you thousands of dollars in tuition fees because in-house attendance is unlimited.
