Insider Trading is considered a serious white-collar crime that occurs when insiders of a listed company trade securities while in possession of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI). This breach of trust can lead to significant damage to the confidence of stakeholders. With regulators like SEBI becoming increasingly vigilant, monitoring insider trading has become more crucial.

At Corporate Professionals, our specialized team of lawyers and company secretaries brings extensive experience in assisting listed companies with compliance, legal advisory, and regulatory reporting related to insider trading laws. We ensure that your organization adheres to the latest amendments in SEBI's Insider Trading Laws and help establish an effective mechanism to prevent market infractions.

Review of Policies and Formulation of Code of Conduct

Every listed company and market intermediary is required to formulate a code of conduct to regulate, monitor, and report trading activities by designated persons. We assist companies in drafting and implementing these codes of conduct in accordance with SEBI regulations and industry best practices. Additionally, we review existing company policies and procedures related to insider trading, identifying gaps and recommending solutions to ensure full compliance with insider trading laws.

Designing Internal Control Systems

Preventing insider trading begins with robust internal controls. Our professionals work with your company to identify potential insider threats and set up effective controls to mitigate these risks. By interviewing department heads and conducting a thorough review of internal processes, we recommend safeguards tailored to your organization's needs, ensuring that your company remains protected from insider trading risks.
