The celebration of July 4th has made this a pretty compressed week for financial regulatory news, especially in the U.S.

So here's a quick summary of what caught our eye. Even with the usual summer slowdown, we can all expect lots more in the weeks to come.

Taking a bit of editorial privilege, I wanted to take a moment in this space to give a heartfelt thank-you to Ron Brandsdorfer for his tireless efforts regarding this newsletter. Ron retired as Cadwalader’s Director of Communications at the end of June, but continues to assist us as we transition to his successor. Notwithstanding an Editor who may have pushed (or outright blown through) the envelope on time deadlines to get to press, Ron made us all look good getting this newsletter out each week. All of us in the Financial Services Department wish Ron well on his well-earned retirement.
