NEW BOOKS

Securities and Derivatives Reform in 2010: A Guide to the Legislation

As a follow-up to Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: Law, Explanation & Analysis, this book focuses on the SEC and CFTC aspects of the new law, explaining every provision affecting the areas of securities, derivatives and corporate governance in greater depth. The book features:

  • Commentary from the SEC and leading practitioners in the industry who offer practical guidance on the law's impact. These leading practitioners are also members of our CCH Securities Advisory Board and include James Doty of Baker Botts LLP, Ralph Ferrara of Dewey & LeBoeuf and Simon Lorne of Millennium Partners LP (all of whom are former SEC General Counsel), as well as Andy Bernstein of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, Ann Yerger, Executive Director, Council of Institutional Investors, and Former Delaware Vice Chancellor, Steven Lamb.

  • The book reproduces the law text in two ways:(1) as passed; and (2) as codified into existing laws.

  • It also contains valuable late-breaking and detailed legislative history on the derivatives provisions and how Congress wants the SEC and CFTC to adopt these regulations to implement Title VII. Much of this legislative history is from Senator Blanche Lincoln, the principal author of the derivatives title of Dodd-Frank, and from Senator Chris Dodd. Finally, included is material from an SEC-CFTC roundtable on the coming derivatives regulations attended by key SEC and CFTC staffers, including Robert Cook, SEC Director of Trading and Markets, and former Federal Reserve Board Governor Randy Kroszner.

COMING SOON

Federal Securities QuickCharts—Financial Reform
Federal Banking QuickCharts—Financial Reform

These quick reference tools allow users to navigate the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as related CCH explanations, amended laws, effective dates and other source materials.

Importantly, the tools also help users quickly find and track the ensuing regulatory response (i.e., rulemaking, guidance, studies and enforcement) that began shortly after the Act's passage and will soon escalate. Organized by topic, the charts offer a summary of each Dodd-Frank Act provision, with links to the full analysis, the text of the Act provisions, the text of existing laws as amended, and related regulatory materials and cases reported in the CCH Federal Banking Law Reporter and CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter, as they become available. Users can build custom charts in seconds, targeting all or selected topics. Users can also export the charts into Microsoft Word or Excel format for circulation while retaining live links to source material. Recent changes will be highlighted in yellow.

QuickCharts will be available as add-ons to subscriptions of the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter and the CCH Federal Banking Law Reporter.
