In response to the global needs of its clients, Reed Smith is pleased to announce the next installment of its 2009 "Doing Business Globally" teleseminar programs, a series focused on issues that companies should understand about doing business in the global marketplace. The experience of the attorneys in our 23 offices in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East positions us to assist in helping you to navigate the global landscape.

Our next teleseminar will focus on "Global Insider Trading Issues." Regulators around the world are stepping up enforcement of insider trading laws. Those caught engaging in insider trading are receiving multi-million-dollar fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. Companies, whether global or domestic, are being fined for not having systems in place to prevent the abuse from happening.

Our speakers will provide updates on the latest insider trading issues, including:

• Enforcement trends from U.S., European and Asia-Pacific Securities Markets
• Strategies for compliance with global regulations
• Preparing for investigations
