Jones Day Webcasts

Have you viewed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new YouTube Channel? The CFPB is both speaking and reaching out more aggressively than “traditional” regulatory agencies. This makes it vital to hear what the Bureau is saying, and that makes it vital to know where and how the Bureau is speaking. Our panelists will address the growth and approach of the CFPB, and its work with other regulators, during this webcast.


Panelists for this event include Chip MacDonald & Albert Rota, in Jones Day’s Financial Institutions Litigation & Regulation Practice and Jeremy Cole in the Firm’s Business and Tort Litigation Practice. Greg Hanthorn, also in the Business and Tort Litigation Practice, will serve as moderator.

This discussion picks up where our February 2013 discussion left off. The panel will examine the continuing development of the regulatory environment for banks and non-banks, including servicing agents, non-bank lenders, and consumers, particularly in light of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s activities over the past quarter. These include the CFPB’s first criminal complaint, apparent responses to pushback from industry groups, the regulators’ attitude regarding incentive compensation, regulators’ recent payday lending and deposit advance product guidance, and other recent developments.


Our panelists bring to the table a wealth of practical experience and will address current best practices and potential areas of concern.
