Why You Should Attend

Banking law and regulation is never complete, but the landscape achieved what may be considered relative stability in the recent post crisis years.  Yet with a new political environment came renewed calls for overhauling current regulations, leaving the future of the regulatory environment harder to assess and plan around. 

New developments in financial regulatory agency leadership and priorities are giving the financial industry reason to prepare for major changes, but until that possibility matures into a reality, industry players mostly continue to plod on, contending with the current legal and regulatory framework while keeping an eye on key areas that could see significant updates. 

The Federal Reserve Board continues to adjust its capital planning and stress-testing requirements depending institution size and scope.  Proposed reforms to capital planning requirements are a hot point of discussion with the industry waiting to see how a final, stricter "Basel IV" standard will manifest.

The industry continues to balance its business interest in and defensive response to new fintech products and services, posing both an increasing challenge and unique opportunity for the industry establishment.  Lurking in the shadows, cybersecurity remains a growing concern as banks and financial institutions continue to stand as prime targets for hacks, ransomware and other data breaches. 

The Banking Law Institute continues to serve as an authoritative forum for industry experts to share their insights on the major legal and regulatory concerns for all industry participants.  This is the program for lawyers and industry professionals to attend for a timely review of what matters in the field.
