05.23.12

Simpson Thacher corporate partner Kenneth B. Wallach co-authored the “Securities” chapter in Successful Partnering Between Inside and Outside Counsel, a joint project of Thomson Reuters/West and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC).  The chapter provides an overview of the most likely ways in which securities laws may apply to a company and ideas on how to handle certain situations that may arise, particularly as they relate to interaction with outside securities counsel. In addition, it presents inside counsel with a practical primer on the basics of what they need to know to advise their company with respect to securities law matters and to effectively and efficiently work with outside securities counsel on such matters.  Mr. Wallach authored this chapter with Jeffrey A. Fiarman, executive vice president, general counsel and secretary, Weight Watchers International, Inc.  Corporate associates Lia Toback and Seth Niedermayer provided valuable assistance.
