We are pleased to invite you to the 22nd Annual Consumer Financial Services Institute, sponsored by the Practising Law Institute, March 27-28, 2017, in New York City (and by live webcast and groupcast in Atlanta and Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania) and on May 4-5, 2017, in Chicago.
This year’s Institute will explore in detail a number of important developments in consumer financial services regulation and litigation. Alan S. Kaplinsky, Practice Leader of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, is co-chairing the event once again, as he has for the past 21 years. PLI has made a special 25 percent discounted registration fee available to those who register using the link above or below.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) continues its active agenda, with the impact of the presidential election to be determined. As was the case last year, the leadoff morning session on the first day will feature a panel discussion titled "The CFPB Speaks," devoted to CFPB developments. The two-hour panel discussion will include three senior CFPB lawyers who are responsible for the most significant regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement activities at the CFPB. Alan Kaplinsky will moderate the panel by questioning the CFPB panelists. Ballard Spahr's Christopher J. Willis will be part of the Chicago panel and James Kim, a lawyer with the firm who formerly served as a senior CFPB enforcement attorney, will substitute for Chris in New York City. Chris or James, joined by another industry lawyer, will provide an industry perspective.
The first day will also include a one-hour panel titled "Federal Regulators Speak: Priorities & Coordination," which will feature representatives of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Trade Commission, who will be joined by a Department of Justice representative at the New York City program.
The Institute will also focus on a variety of other cutting-edge issues and developments, including:
-
Impact of the election on the CFPB, other federal and state agencies
-
Privacy and data security
-
State regulatory initiatives and developments
-
Class action developments and settlements
We hope you can join us for this informative and valuable program. A complete description of PLI's 22nd Annual Consumer Financial Services Institute is also available at the link below.
