Consumer Protection Act & What It Means to You

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT

The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act significantly modified the consumer protection landscape. The act created a new financial protection regulator with broad enforcement powers, modified the federal preemption standard applicable to national banks and federal savings associations and added a wide range of anti-predatory and mortgage reform laws.

Join experts from Bryan Cave LLP and BKD, LLP to hear what this reform could mean for you now and in the future.  Our presenters will discuss the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, federal pre-emption standards, new mortgage loan originator compensation rules, debit card interchange fee limits, numerous new mortgage-lending rules and more.

If you are interested in attending, please register online for this free webinar.
