Diles Consulting served as a sponsor of the 2026 Securities Expert Roundtable (SER) Annual Member Meeting and Expert Conference,
held August 6–7 at the Sofitel Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference convened attorneys, expert witnesses, and compliance professionals
for two days of programming that addressed current developments in securities litigation and regulatory practice. Our sponsorship
and participation reflect a continued engagement with the broader expert witness and legal community on matters central to
broker-dealer regulatory compliance.
On Friday, August 7, founder Colleen Diles moderated a panel titled "From Search to Selection: How Attorneys Pick Their Experts."
Drawing on 22 years of experience in FINRA's Member Supervision Department, Colleen guided a discussion on the criteria and process
attorneys apply when selecting expert witnesses for litigation. The insightful panelists offered attendees a practical perspective
on the selection process.
