Partner Gregory Sichenzia Appears on CNBC to Discuss Impact of New Fiduciary Rule on Broker-Dealers

Press Release – New York, NY– April 7, 2016 – Founding partner Gregory Sichenzia appeared on CNBC’s Closing Bell on April 6 where he debated the benefits and drawbacks of the new fiduciary rule announced that day by the Department of Labor.  Greg noted that this new standard is likely to lead to substantial regulatory costs for small broker dealers and may not result in better products or targeted advice. A core part of the rule says that if advisers offering retirement advice want to continue receiving commissions and other types of compensation for selling specific products, they and their clients need to sign a “best interest contract” in which the adviser pledges to put the client’s interests first. That is stricter than the current standard, which only provides they need to offer “suitable” recommendations.

Our Affiliation with Israeli firm Doron, Tikotzky, Kantor, Gutman, Cederboum and Co.

​

In 2015 Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner LLP entered into an joint-venture affiliation with Doron, Tikotzky, Kantor, Gutman, Cederboum and Co. (“DTKGC”), a full-service Israeli law firm. This collaboration is a major milestone in growing our international footprint and will provide the ability to seamlessly service corporate clients in Israel seeking access to major U.S. capital markets. Having trusted legal advisors on the ground will benefit Israeli clients who will no longer have to hire separate legal counsel when conducting business in the U.S.

This partnership is an expansion of our existing Israeli Practice Group which currently has a dedicated team of Hebrew-speaking attorneys. It is anticipated that members of the Israeli Practice Group will spend time locally in DTKGC’s Ramat Gan office to work with DTKGC’s attorneys in their corporate finance and securities practices.  With extensive experience and knowledge of two very different legal systems, we and the DTKGC attorneys are able to deliver customized, integrated and efficient solutions.

We have chosen to partner with DTKGC because of our long-standing relationship with DTKGC partner Adv. Ronen Kantor, an attorney who specializes in counseling publicly traded Israeli companies in the U.S. markets.
