SPA-MoFo: Special NYC Event on Thurs. Dec-4

Dec. 4: SPA / Morrison & Foerster to Host Special Event and 5th Annual SPA Holiday Toast

Save the date for a special final event of the year from the Structured Products Association and Morrison & Foerster.

Given the litigation climate and the tax/regulatory changes expected from a transitioning presidency, the SPA and MoFo will host a year-end round-up of the extensive changes sweeping the structured products industry's legal-compliance-regulatory environment.

Prior to the event, the SPA will be holding its first full meeting of the SPA Legal and Compliance Committee -- with the purpose of getting out in front of critical regulatory issues that will soon be confronting the industry.

Two panels will present in the one-hour session:1) external counsel on the sweeping changes and status of class action lawsuits targeting the financial services industry; and 2) in-house counsel/compliance departments, and how they are contending with the rapidly changing environment.

The session will conclude with the fifth annual SPA Members' Holiday Toast -- hosted at the offices of Morrison & Foerster. More details to follow.

In the meantime, save the date: Thursday, December 4, 2008. For more details or to register, email MoFo's Michelle Paitich at mpaitich@mofo.com.
