In a piece published by NSCP Currents, Eversheds Sutherland attorneys Brian Rubin, Ellen Connell, and Ellen Sheridan-Cona examine recent, meaningful shifts in enforcement processes at both the SEC and FINRA, following updates announced in February and March 2026.

For companies and individuals who find themselves the subject of an enforcement investigation, this article provides timely insight into what these changes mean in practice and how to effectively deploy compliance and response strategies when navigating regulatory investigations.
