Overview

Why you should attend

Banks and other financial institutions operating in the United States, the rules and regulations under which they operate, and the public and private expectations governing their business have undergone a dramatic transformation in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis. The strategic, operating, governance and core legal concerns applicable to financial institutions have always been different than those applicable to non-financial companies. But now those differences have become even sharper and have dramatically increased the stakes of getting things right. With the lessons of the financial crisis, the immense process of regulation following the Dodd-Frank Act, and the opportunities and considerations applicable to the future shape of the new regulatory framework setting in, we are at an important crossroads.

This year we have expanded our program to include a special panel on enforcement issues and trends.  The establishment of a new federal consumer protection agency, changes to federal preemption standards, continuing state enforcement activity, and waves of safety and soundness and failed bank enforcement actions present numerous new challenges for financial institutions and their advisers. Our expert faculty of private and government practitioners will explore these and other critical issues for practitioners in the area, and review their implications for advising financial institutions in the current business and regulatory environment.
