Panel: SEF Rules – The Challenge of Implementation

It’s no secret that the rule-making process has been stressed. No Action Relief has both mitigated and added to some of the complexity, and some Rule requirements include conflicting rules that simply can’t be implemented within the time-constraints and certain deficiencies in market structure. This panel will challenge that gap between what the Regulatory Regime demands versus what is achievable by the participants. We will also examine the inherent risk of failing to meet demands placed on the industry, whether through Legal, Compliance, Technical Infrastructure or simply business process.

Moderator: Mike Dunn, Former CFTC Commissioner

Panelists:
Michael M. Philipp, (Legal) Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
Greg Compa, (SEF Implementation / Compliance) ICAP
Melissa Slade, (Implementation) PWC
