Adam Aderton and David Blass Featured in Private Equity Law Report Q&A on Recent SEC Efforts
Partners Adam Aderton and David Blass were featured in a Q&A in Private Equity Law Report titled “Assessing the SEC’s Performance During the First Six Months of the Trump Administration.” The article analyzed the SEC’s actions during the first half of the year, including staffing and operational changes at the Commission, efforts to expand retail access to private markets and its pivot away from rulemaking focused on the private funds industry. David noted that “we may see new proposals on some of the topics that were formally withdrawn by the SEC. If so, they’ll likely just be more focused on addressing market needs or failures.” Adam added that “this administration has been transparent about wanting to hear from the industry about what is working and what could work better, and that they value the industry’s perspective as to how the rules could work better to achieve the SEC’s mission.”
