The Global Financial Crisis 2009: Preparing for the Future

Released on: Aug. 19, 2009
Running Time: 06:37:00.00

Overview

The emergence of Ponzi schemes, credit default swaps, and the tightening of the worldwide credit market have led to a global economic slowdown. Global losses due to the credit default swaps have been estimated to fall in the range of sixty trillion dollars. Government bailouts worldwide are reshaping our understanding of quasi-governmental entities and reestablishing the parameters of regulation. The global financial crisis has expanded its reach into international legal practice areas - from litigation and securities to bankruptcy, structured finance and real estate. As the problems in the United States spread abroad, attorneys need to prepare to handle the widely recognized instability in the world financial markets. Our stellar faculty of in-house counsel, compliance officers, regulators, and private practitioners will share their insights and expertise so that you and your clients and companies can proactively handle any developments resulting from these global events.
