- Welcome to the 2013 Mid-Year Report from the BakerHostetler Securities Litigation and Regulatory Enforcement Practice Team. Its purpose is to provide a periodic survey, apart from our team Executive Alerts, on matters we believe of interest to sophisticated general counsel, chief compliance officers and compliance departments, legal departments and members of the securities and commodities industries at financial institutions, private investment funds and public companies.

We issue this Securities Litigation and Enforcement Highlights Report at mid-year and shortly after year end. We hope you find the information and commentary useful and welcome your comments and suggestions. We encourage you to contact any of the practice team members listed at the end of the Report.
