Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) October 13, 2016
Clutch Group, a leading legal, risk, and compliance analytics and consulting firm, is pleased to announce their support, at the highest level, of the 6th Annual EDI Leadership Summit and that Charles Hastie, Regulatory Head, Clutch Group will be speaking on a panel – “Regulators Always Ring Twice: Using Technology in Response to Government Investigations.”
This strengthens a continuing relationship between Clutch Group and EDI. Previously, Brandon Daniels, President, Clutch Group had moderated two separate panels – “Battle In The Bronx | The Requesting Parties’ Roadmap to Broader Discovery” at EDI’s Annual Summer Meeting in New York City and “Data Surveillance: Dealing with Privacy, Complex Data & Company Culture”, at EDI’s 2015 Leadership Summit held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Charles Hastie, Regulatory Head, Clutch Group, was a supervisor at the Financial Conduct Authority, where he was responsible for the supervision of a large investment bank. He also worked as an investigator in the FCA’s enforcement division, handling several cases involving market abuse, U.K. Listing Authority rule breaches and FCA principles breaches. He will be joined by several industry experts to discuss the role of technology in responding to government investigations.
“At Clutch, we have worked on some of the most sensitive regulatory investigations in the financial services industry and regularly engage and interact with regulators. It is undisputable that an understanding of technology can be the difference maker between a strong response and an underwhelming one,” says Charles. “As a former regulator, I look forward to laying out a few strategies that, depending on their context, may assist industry leaders in the future.”
Charles will be joined on the panel by:
Kelly Clay, GlaxoSmithKline, Senior Counsel & Director, Information Management
John Davis, UBS AG, Executive Director & Counsel, Global eDiscovery
Zviad Guruli, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP, Consulting Attorney,
Christine Hasiotis, Electric Insurance Company, Executive Counsel & Director
Glenn Melcher, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Special Counsel for eDiscovery
