Event Description:
In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Supreme Court overruled Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., ending almost 40 years of “Chevron deference” to an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute. This panel will discuss the impact Loper Bright may have on the SEC, which often relied on Chevron deference to support its interpretation of federal securities laws.
