Rajib Chanda Quoted in Ignites on SEC Agenda Amid Jay Clayton’s Potential Departure

06.23.20

Corporate Partner Rajib Chanda was quoted in an Ignites article about Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Jay Clayton’s potential departure from the commission to join the S.D.N.Y. The article highlights that the questions surrounding Jay Clayton’s status, coupled with possible uncertainty about what the SEC could look like after the upcoming presidential election, could impact the commission’s rulemaking agenda. However, Rajib noted that he doesn’t expect the SEC’s agenda to change much this year, stating “I don’t think Jay is a lame duck until he leaves. He’s got an agenda, he’s got the votes. I see no reason why he would limit himself.”
