The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is the most extensive piece of financial services legislation since the 1930s.

Given the length of the act, as well as its heavy reliance on rulemaking, it is not yet feasible to fully assess its impact. It is clear, however, that banks will face many new obligations and restrictions. Other financial companies will likely need to adapt to a heavier regulatory and compliance burden. And certain organizations that have not considered themselves financial in nature will be subject to significant new federal scrutiny.

In a series of brief webcasts, Faegre & Benson lawyers discuss topics related to the Dodd-Frank Act—and explain how companies may be affected.
