Business law matters discussed

Regulatory reform, anti-money laundering regulations, artificial intelligence and banking practice, data breaches and the impact of Brexit on U.S. banking are among a range of topics to be discussed by business law experts during the American Bar Association Business Law Section Spring Meeting, April 12-14, in Orlando, Fla.


Program highlights include:

• “Banking Around the World: A Look at Banking Activities, FinTech, Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and Other Key Issues in an International Context” — This program will define banking activities in international jurisdictions, including the United States, Argentina and Germany. 

• “Brexit: Impact on U.S. Banks, Banking Transactions & Euro Insolvency” — Panelists will explore Brexit: what it is and what it will look like, its impact on U.S. banks and banking transactions and post-Brexit effects on European Union insolvency regulation and proceedings.

• “Policy by Twitter: Is the Demise of Consumer Finance Regulation Merely a Hoax?” — With a new director of the CFPB, Michael Mulvaney, and given the Trump Administration’s regulatory reform priorities, less regulation (and more industry-friendly regulatory interpretations) and less aggressive administrative enforcement from the CFPB may be the result. 
Panelists will explore whether a less-aggressive regulatory environment will benefit financial services companies and increase access to credit, or create a new race to the bottom, and if the states will fill the perceived gap to impede a return to the wild, wild west. 

• “Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorist Financing, Anti-Financial Crime US and Global Developments Update 2018 – A Challenge for Corporate Compliance – Looking Down the Road Ahead” — A look at the increase in the number and complexity of U.S. and international extraterritorial reach/U.S. impact financial crime regulations. 

• “The New Uniform Regulation of Virtual Currency Businesses Act: Benefits for Companies and Consumers” — Panelists will discuss the scope and application of the URVCBA, probe its regulatory on-ramp that encourages innovation and examine the ways the act is beneficial for companies and consumers. 

• “Electronic Residential Mortgage Notes Under the Proposed Federal Repository Act and the Uniform” —  A federal statute to create an electronic residential mortgage notes registry has been drafted. UCC amendments are being proposed to provide the commercial law rules for electronic mortgage notes filed in the registry. This panel will discuss how these projects would affect residential mortgage borrowers and lenders and those who finance the lenders.
