As part of the FinTech University series, join us for an in-depth webinar exploring the evolving role of the Major Questions Doctrine (MQD) and its potential impact on the authority of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). With recent legal decisions emphasizing limits on regulatory overreach, the MQD has emerged as a powerful judicial tool, requiring Congress to speak clearly when authorizing agencies to regulate matters of vast economic or political significance.

This webinar will examine the legal origins and evolution of the MQD, key Supreme Court rulings and their implications for federal regulatory agencies, how the MQD challenges the SEC’s ability to enforce broad and complex regulations, potential implications for ongoing and future SEC rulemaking and enforcement actions, and the broader impacts on financial regulation, market stability, and corporate compliance.
