With a June 2 deadline looming for publicly traded manufacturers to disclose if their products contain tantalum, tin, gold or tungsten from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Scott Kimpel believes the SEC will feel pressured to clarify what it expects by that date. Kimpel’s practice encompasses a range of matters involving securities laws, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and corporate governance. He previously served as counsel to a former SEC commissioner.
