I am thrilled to announce the latest episode of the “Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz” podcast, which delves into the very interesting topic of the portrayal of securities law issues and securities lawyers in movies and television shows. Liz and I were joined by Charles Lee, who serves at the SEC as Senior Advisor, Office of the Chairman, and Ted Yu, who serves at the SEC as Associate Director of Specialized Policy & Disclosure in the Division of Corporation Finance. Note that Charles and Ted were speaking on the podcast in their individual capacities, the SEC disclaims responsibility for any private publication or statement of any SEC employee or Commissioner, and this podcast expresses the speakers’ views and does not necessarily reflect those of the Commission, the Commissioners or other members of the SEC staff.

Check out part 1 of this 33-minute podcast to hear:

1. What led Charles and Ted to become securities lawyers and join the SEC.

2. Top securities law movies and tv shows.

3. Securities law surprises in “Wall Street.”

4. Disclosure quandaries from “Succession.”

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast! If you have a topic that you think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Liz or me by LinkedIn or email.
