Information Governance, Gambling Risk, and Litigation Exposure in the Age of Prediction Markets
Monday, November 9, 2026, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Prediction markets and alternative data platforms now let employees turn corporate information into instant wagers, creating real exposure under securities, commodities and gambling laws. With federal regulators, state gaming agencies and attorneys general fighting over jurisdiction, companies face rising enforcement and litigation risk. This session gives senior in house counsel a clear, practical framework for managing these threats before they become investigations.
- Learn to identify insider information and gambling related risks by examining how prosecutors and plaintiffs'Â lawyers use prediction market trades, alternative data and personal account activity to build cases.
- Understand the regulatory and litigation landscape so you can see how the commodity versus wager fight is driving lawsuits, AG actions and conflicting rulings that affect your company.
- Walk away with governance and defense tools that strengthen trading policies, information barrier protocols and employee conduct rules to reduce litigation risk and prepare for inquiries from the CFTC, state gaming regulators and civil litigants.
