As 2012 begins, investment advisers should keep in mind certain new and revised forms implemented in 2011 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  These developments will likely require investment advisers to, at a minimum, monitor their ongoing trading levels and change the way they complete their Form ADV.  Certain registered investment advisers may have to compile, and in some cases, make publicly available, previously unsolicited information regarding the funds they advise.  In addition, some of these requirements (in particular the new Form 13H) may be relevant even for investment advisers who are not registered with the SEC or licensed by a state regulator.

Stacy A. Carpenter was honored last night with the 2011 Richard Marden Davis Award at a dinner in her honor. The award recognizes her outstanding service to the legal community as well as civic and charitable leadership.

“It is truly an honor to receive such a prestigious award,” said Carpenter. “To be among such a highly regarded class of past winners is a humbling experience.”

The Davis Award is presented annually “to a Denver lawyer who is 40-years-old or younger and combines excellence as a lawyer with civic, cultural, educational, and charitable leadership.” The award was created in memory of Richard Davis, one of the founders of Davis Graham & Stubbs, who devoted himself tirelessly to the profession and the community. Each honoree “best exemplifies the character and promise of Richard Davis at that stage in his career.”
