DC Partner Micah Green was featured in a Risk magazine article on May 4, 2012. The article discusses a bipartisan attempt to clarify the scope of the Dodd-Frank Act – and limit the CFTC's proposals on swap execution facilities. According to Mr. Green, “The bill was introduced in a bipartisan way, especially since it was intended to act as a message to the CFTC – to ensure the views of Congress were heard by regulators." Adding that the bill was never a partisan attempt to change Dodd-Frank or even a technical correction, he argues that it was "merely a reiteration of the congressional meaning of the Dodd-Frank language."
