Technology and securities regulation are now inexorably linked, and issues of data retention, data management, cybersecurity, etc. dominate SEC and FINRA compliance agendas.

For instance, responding to FINRA and SEC demands for information, whether via SEC subpoena or SEC or FINRA voluntary requests (such as an 8210 FINRA Request for Documents or Information) can often not only cost a regulated entity millions of dollars but can also quickly evolve into an unnecessary and distracting sideshow if not managed properly and thoughtfully. Yet, for SEC and FINRA enforcement attorneys, given the ease of their review, the tendency is to ask witnesses for far more data than is necessary (or even possible) for a company to produce. Let John Reed Stark review your regulatory subpoena or request; analyze the digital compliance required; and offer his expertise to convince regulators of the burden and cost of a production as well as the reasonableness and efficacy of a thoughtfully and skillfully crafted alternative compliance plan.
