About this program
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was approved by the House-Senate Conference on June 29, 2010 and was passed by the House on June 30, is being described as the most sweeping reform of financial regulation in the United States since the Great Depression.
It is anticipated that the Dodd-Frank Act will be considered by the Senate after the Independence Day recess. Despite the uncertainty around timing of passage and the possibility of some final modifications to the bill language, financial institutions are already actively considering the potential implications of this legislation.
Join us on July 8, 2010 as we provide an analysis of the key provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act for financial institutions and investors in those institutions.
The Financial Regulatory Reform Conference will include targeted sessions on expanded regulation of systemically significant institutions; revisions to existing banking, insurance, investment adviser and broker dealer regulation; and changes to the regulation of consumer protection, corporate governance and derivatives. The Financial Regulatory Reform Conference is designed for business executives, bankers and lawyers involved in the financial sector. Attendees will receive course materials and CLE credit. There will be ample opportunity for questions and answers and informal discussion.
