Overview

Why You Should Attend
From the day it was proposed, Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, broadly referred to as The Volcker Rule, was met with controversy.  The Rule, which banned commercial banks from engaging in most forms of proprietary trading, made significant impacts to the financial industry from the moment it was ratified throughout its challenging implementation process and conformance deadline in 2015.  

Yet with the new administration and legislature, the real possibility for change to the Rule has emerged, not long after the industry worked for years to achieve compliance.  What changes, if any, can financial institutions falling under the Volcker Rule's purview expect?  If not a full repeal, is a rollback of some of its provisions more likely?  How will regulators coordinate in giving advice on the Rule?  How will examinations for compliance proceed and what issues are being identified? 

Whatever changes might come, the Volcker Rule continues to challenge financial institutions and the industry continues to respond in kind, taking significant measures to meet its compliance standards.  Attend PLI's The Volcker Rule 2017: What it Means for Financial Institutions and Markets and hear how leading lawyers from the corporate, law firm and regulatory sides are advising their clients or the broader industry, respectively, on the Volcker Rule as it stands today.
