Keynote Address To The UJA Federation, Steven Peikin, SEC Co-Director, Division Of Enforcement, New York, NY, May 15, 2018

Date 16/05/2018

Good evening and thank you for that generous introduction.

Before I begin, let me give the required disclaimer that the views I express today are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or its staff.

It's a privilege to be here this evening as the UJA honors Barry Berke. I've had the privilege of knowing Barry for many years, as an adversary, as a colleague, and, most importantly, as a friend. Barry is well known to many as one of the most sought after and talented trial lawyers in the country. Beyond that, he is a peerless example of integrity, skill, and devotion to his clients. But most of all – and this label is particularly appropriate in this setting – he's a real mensch. So for all of these reasons, he is a fitting honoree for tonight's event.
