Our latest Investor Alert, “By the Numbers: Navigating the New SEC Landscape,” examines how the SEC’s shift toward reduced enforcement and constrained shareholder engagement tools affects institutional investors’ fiduciary duties, risk management, and loss recovery strategies.

Drawing on key data from fiscal year 2025, the authors emphasize that as the SEC steps back, the burden of protecting portfolios and recovering investment losses is increasingly shifting to institutional investors. With SEC enforcement contracting and shareholder engagement channels narrowing, private securities litigation and Delaware fiduciary-duty actions are more important than ever as tools to protect assets and hold corporations accountable.

“The message is clear,” the authors contend, “investors cannot rely solely on the SEC for loss recovery or corporate deterrence. Proactive engagement with private litigation channels is now essential.”

Villegas will speak on a panel titled, “From AI Hype to Accountability: New Frontiers in Securities Litigation,” at the Texas Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems’ 2026 Annual Conference. They will be joined by Harry Griffin, Trustee of the San Antonio Employees’ Retirement System, and Paul Thompson, Trustee of the El Paso Fire and Police Pension Fund.

The panel will examine the surge in AI-related securities litigation within the broader context of evolving regulatory and enforcement trends, including shifts in SEC leadership and enforcement posture. The discussion will explore how these developments are shaping materiality, loss causation, and case selection—and what they mean for long-term portfolio oversight for institutional investors.

Partner Guillaume Buell spoke with Pensions Age for their recent article “Strong but Uneven: The Limited State of Pension Stewardship in 2026” to discuss how including a fiduciary duty clarification in the UK’s Pension Schemes Bill could strengthen the pension landscape.

An amendment was proposed, and then tabled in October 2025, that would provide clearer guidance on the rules trustees need to follow when managing pension investments—potentially reshaping stewardship practices across the industry. Guillaume emphasized the benefit of a more defined, inclusive scope: “It would be quite helpful if the Pension Schemes Bill were amended to include a discussion, ideally in broad terms, of fiduciary duty.”

Given the wide range of pension schemes and their varying sizes and resources, he added that “how to get there, and what to do on the contours of those concepts, might not be the same for all asset owners.” In his view, the fiduciary duty definition should include “language that permits trustees and officers the flexibility to always act in the best interests of their fund, including by doing all they can to maximize their ability to pay pensions and be good stewards of the assets.”

04/09/2026

Partners Lauren A. Ormsbee and Jesse L. Jensen and Associate Charles J. Stiene are the authors of the Law360 article “Parsing Through 12(c) Motion Overuse in Securities Class Actions,” which explores a growing trend in securities litigation: Defendants are increasingly filing Rule 12(c) motions for judgment on the pleadings in addition to Rule 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss, which have been a staple of Exchange Act cases since the passage of the PSLRA.

The authors examine the impact of these often-duplicative filings, highlighting that defendants may be using Rule 12(c) motions as backdoor attempts to relitigate already-decided issues and delay discovery. They note, however, that courts “have demonstrated an increasing willingness to reject Rule 12(c) motions that are nothing more than transparent attempts to relitigate previously decided issues,” and “defendants who pursue this strategy risk not only denial, but also pointed criticism from the bench for circumventing proper procedural channels.”

Partner Carol Villegas and Associate Danielle Izzo Mazzeo are authors of the informative article “New Act Aims to Streamline UK GDPR Rules,” published by The Law Society Gazette, examining the new Data (Use and Access) Act of 2025, which applies to businesses subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

The article discusses the act’s positive impact on “consumers’ ability to manage and protect their personal data.” While the full scope of the act will become clear in the coming weeks, its text reinforces the framework of the UK GDPR while expanding of both consumer empowerment and regulatory oversight. The authors conclude that “by clarifying data processing standards, tightening rules around secondary data use, and strengthening avenues for consumer complaints and enforcement, the act positions itself as a modernisation effort rather than a departure from established rights.”
