CFRA Legal Edge

A unique, differentiated approach to understanding legal risks and opportunities.


CFRA Legal Edge provides a proactive research service that focuses on assessing legal and regulatory risk, and identifies potential mispricings related to crisis events, regulatory events, major litigation, and other significant happenings. We provide perspective on breaking events and identify emerging legal themes that may be material to the investment decision.

CFRA Legal Edge is the industry's most in-depth, objective legal research and is designed to suit varying investment styles and time horizons. Our CFRA Legal Edge lead analyst Nick Rodelli brings a decade of experience as a former senior SEC Enforcement attorney and corporate litigator. He has also represented several companies subject to SEC investigations and lawsuits alleging securities fraud and counseled companies concerning M&A and corporate governance matters.

In addition to regular research reports and briefs, the CFRA Legal Edge service includes access to the research team for questions on our published body of work, as well as a rapid-response help desk. Through this service, our counsel is on call to help answer your legal or regulatory questions. For an additional fee, CFRA Legal Edge can also provide you with proprietary and custom research to meet specialized needs.
