Webinar Highlights

Insider trading is the trading of a company's stock or other securities by “insiders” - individuals with access to material non-public information about the company. 

Insider trading is not always illegal. It is legal if made by corporate executives who timely file the required documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Illegal insider trading has 2 types or “theories” - classical and misappropriation. 

  1. Classical theory – occurs when an employee, director or officer of a company trades stock using material non-public information, breaching their duty to the shareholders. 
  2. Misappropriation theory – occurs when an individual trades stock using material non-public information provided by an insider – someone with access to material non-public information.

This webinar will review the origin of United States insider trading laws and compare and contrast illegal and legal insider trading. We will then review several insider trading cases, examining the underlying reasons why the illegal trades were made and the aftermath of the trades on the company and the individuals who made the trades.
