For the attorney returning to securities law or the generalist who wants to get up to speed with securities developments, there are several free and low cost resources.
If the attorney uses Bowne & Co., Inc. for financial printing, he/she might consider asking his/her representative for free copies of securities handbooks. Bowne & Co., Inc. was founded in 1775 and has become a global compliance communications provider. The latest is the 2007 Annual Meeting Handbook by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, LLP.
The Securities Lawyer’s Deskbook is found online and updated regularly.
Subscriptions to TheCorporateCounsel.net and CompensationStandards.com for developments in the securities regulation and public disclosure requirements for public companies are not free, but at low costs.
Another online resource is RR Donnelley's Real Corporate Lawyer. RR Donnelley is a competitor of Bowne & Co., Inc.
There are also newsletters that attorneys may subscribe to by clicking on to the web sites of major law firms such as Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. The latest article from Cooley Godward Kronish LLP discusses collaborative arrangements, where recent Securities Exchange Commission views may impact revenue recognition for biotech industry companies. The article discusses methods to avoid restatements.
