2. Securities Law and Litigation and White Collar: Whether the subject is Bernie Madoff or Conrad Black; current developments and trends in securities regulation and litigation; or trends and developments at the Department of Justice and in white collar criminal cases, Celesq® offers programs to keep our attendees informed. This series is presented by Thomas O. Gorman of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, who is joined from time to time by attorneys from other well-respected firms, including Pepper Hamilton LLP and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP.
