The U.S. regulatory agencies were out in full force this week,
with significant activity and pronouncements that will have a
meaningful impact on the financial services industry.
It's hard to summarize these important developments in
this short introduction to this week's issue, so we encourage
readers to carefully review our authors' insightful
contributions.
In addition, our firm was honored last week to be named at
the IFLR Americas Awards as the “Team of
the Year” in the “Financial Services Regulatory”
category for our work in the crypto and LIBOR spaces. We are also
so proud of our colleague Lary Stromfeld, who heads our LIBOR
Preparedness Team, for receiving an “Outstanding Achievement
Award” in recognition of his critical role in the drafting
and ultimate passage of LIBOR legacy contract legislation at the
New York State and federal levels. What a well-deserved honor!
