The SEC rulemaking has been under legal siege under Gensler – here is one reason why.
“A recent study by Harvard Law School professor John Coates found that Wall Street has rushed to the 5th Circuit. Coates, who served as Gensler’s first general counsel at the SEC, says firms are challenging the regulator’s rules in court more often under the chair than his immediate predecessors. He said that, as of February, 80% of those challenges during Gensler’s tenure were in the 5th Circuit.“
