The Knowledge Group is producing a 2-hour live webcast which will help attorneys understand how new regulations will affect their clients in 2009 and beyond. Among the issues covered will be: Mitigating & managing the risk of bank failure, synopsis & impact of the new government regulations, and finally a forward look at best practices for finance attorneys in 2009.
Banking and Financial Services Laws for Attorneys: A 2009 Perspective will provide a comprehensive overview and best practices framework for navigation regulatory activity in the US financial system. This is a must attend webcast for domestic & internationally focused attorneys who’s clients are banks and financial institutions that operate in the US market.
