We are ready to help our clients navigate the potential legal and regulatory changes that could arise under a Biden Administration, as affected by the final outcome of the U.S. Senate races – including a shifting focus on SEC enforcement.

Some considerations under a Biden Administration include:

• Focus on the implementation and ultimately the aggressive enforcement of Regulation Best Interest, further defining the best interest standard.
• Renewed focus on broken windows matters in which the Division of Enforcement intentionally pursues smaller, non-fraud cases.
• Increased focus on and enforcement around environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures and litigation concerning ESG-related corporate disclosures.

Baker Botts is working with clients to prepare for, and help inform, these initiatives.
