Chambers-ranked Reed Smith partner and former SEC Senior Counsel Rebecca Fike brings a decade of enforcement experience to this episode of CZ & Friends. Rebecca shares how major investigations really unfold, why “facts don’t lie,” and how companies can protect themselves with process, documentation, and thoughtful disclosure controls. She also breaks down the rise of AI-washing, emerging enforcement priorities, and the practical realities of governance. Beyond the law, Rebecca shares about mentorship, Big Law careers, and navigating parenthood with clarity and intention. This is a masterclass in legal leadership - with heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Follow Rebecca:@Rebecca Fike on LinkedInShow notes:- Rebecca’s path from Big Law to the SEC and back again- What SEC investigators look for (and why documentation is your friend)- “Scrapbooking the deal”: the surprising metaphor every GC should know- How companies should think about disclosure controls, risk factors, and AI governance- AI-washing and the real enforcement trends to watch- The future of the billable hour and training the next generation of lawyers- Why Rebecca is unabashedly pro–Big Law- Building trust in crisis moments and the psychology of receiving an SEC subpoena- Candid reflections on career, family, boundaries, and mentorship- Fantasy novels, dragons, romance, and the importance of reading for joyFollow us on all social platforms to get each new episode when it drops. ⁠@Cecilia Ziniti⁠ on LinkedIn ⁠@CeciliaZin⁠ on Twitter/X ⁠@GC AI⁠ on LinkedIn ⁠gc.ai⁠ website
