MEMBER HIGHLIGHT - In a recent Law360 article, SER member Pavithra Kumar, Ph.D., explores the SEC’s proposed shift from quarterly to semiannual reporting and its potential ripple effects on litigation risk and market behavior. While the change may ease compliance burdens and encourage long-term strategy, Kumar warns it could also heighten exposure to securities fraud claims, insider trading scrutiny, and volatility driven by informal disclosures. Her analysis urges legal teams to prepare for a new terrain where fewer mandated filings may mean more litigation—not less. Dr. Kumar is Principal at AACG and holds a PhD in Finance from the MIT Sloan School of Management. Her expertise in statistical modeling, econometrics, and damages quantification positions her uniquely to decode complex legal and economic questions.
