Overview

Why you should attend

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the most sweeping piece of financial regulatory reform legislation since the Great Depression - the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) charged with regulating and supervising practically all banks and other providers of consumer financial services. In addition to assuming regulatory responsibility for virtually all federal consumer protection laws, the CFPB has been given the broad authority to issue new regulations defining “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts or practices.

The 16th Annual Consumer Financial Services Institute will explore in detail the consumer-related provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFPB’s anticipated agenda during the first year. As in the past, this year’s Institute will also cover significant developments in class action and other consumer financial services litigation.
