SEC's Approach to Equitable Settlement Questioned by Legal Veteran
Carlton Fields Shareholder Richard Choi was quoted in a Think Advisor article, “SEC's Approach to Equitable Settlement Questioned by Legal Veteran.” The article covered a discussion that Choi participated in at an American Law Institute CLE insurance products conference, during which Choi addressed the Equitable subsidiary’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) settlement.
Choi suggested that the SEC may have been unusually tough on account statements issued by Equitable when it negotiated a $50 million settlement with the company.
