The financial services industry is changing rapidly.

Representing lenders in transactions is a significant part of our work. We also represent corporate clients in their borrowings; represent clients in asset sales and securitization transactions, representing issuers of public and private debt securities, beneficial holders of such securities and trustees; counsel our bank clients in hostile takeover attempts, auction processes for possible sales, and other corporate governance matters.
The list of federal agencies, laws and regulations that govern banks and other financial institutions seems endless and ever-growing. Add the overlay of state regulation on many institutions, and the picture gets even more complex. We also help commercial banks, bank holding companies, foreign banks, mortgage finance companies, and savings and loans to comply with all regulatory requirements.
Event Synopsis:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB's) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Arbitration Agreements is facing a strong opposition as various organizations from the financial industry flood the agency with comments rebutting the proposed rule. The contentious regulation would prohibit mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer financial contracts and would require companies to disclose information regarding the arbitrations conducted under agreements.
In their 42-page rebuttal, the American Bankers Association, the Consumer Bankers Association and the Financial Services Roundtable, have unanimously expressed their dissatisfaction on CFPB's perceived failure to consider alternatives. They presented arguments on the efficiency of arbitration for both consumers and financial services companies.
The sturdy disapproval from the industry indicates a rocky road for CFPB's completion of the regulation. If finalized, the regulation is expected to cause sweeping implications to companies' consumer financial product and services offering. It would also impact the resolution of consumer disputes and the mitigation of potential liability. Firms should start mulling over numerous considerations at play.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will help consumer financial services companies understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the Proposed Rule and will also offer best practices in responding to the new regulatory landscape.
