Maintain a robust amicus program through regular participation in court cases that raise significant policy issues affecting financial markets or common practices within the financial services industry. File amicus curiae legal briefs on behalf of SIFMA in cases that may establish precedents that increase litigation risk and costs for our members, and that promote industry standards, customs and practices. Interface and leverage with other trade associations in amicus filings. Prepare and file comment letters, legal analyses and other work product, and otherwise advocate industry positions on litigation-related issues. Provide guidance to SIFMA in filing lawsuits in SIFMA’s name to seek injunctive, declaratory and other relief on behalf of SIFMA member firms.
