Overview

Why You Should Attend

Two years have passed since the Volcker Rule’s final regulations were published.  And with the July 21, 2015 extended deadline looming, domestic and international banks, as well as related market participants, continue to work their way through the rule’s complex requirements, evaluating their business lines and determining how to build and apply an effective compliance program across their institution.

With the Volcker Rule being one in a number of regulatory changes and global economic challenges impacting the industry, it comes as no surprise that the national and foreign banks and federal savings associations obligated to conform their activities and investments to the rule struggled, needed more time to achieve compliance.  And even as the deadline quickly approaches, it may still be years afterward when the industry finally adapts to the full force of the Volcker Rule.

At our 2015 Volcker Rule program, our experienced faculty will discuss the operational and compliance concerns that bankers and the counsel who practice in the financial services industry need to know to counsel their clients and organizations toward compliance.
