Texas (TX) Consumer Law CLE Course Catalog

Consumer financial service regulators have been actively expanding their reach and authority over financial institutions, nonbank partners, and service providers over an increasing number of business practices. Since much of this expansion is accomplished without formal rulemaking, it is important for financial service companies to stay on top of the informal agency guidance and actions. We will discuss the latest regulatory trends and developments and what to watch for in 2023 from agencies including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). We will also discuss notable enforcement actions and litigation in these regulatory areas.

Class actions remain at the forefront of in-house counsel’s concerns and top legal spend. In this program, highly recognized practitioners in class action litigation Joseph A. Apatov (McGlinchey Stafford PLLC) and Bethany G. Lukitsch (BakerHostetler) will discuss the significant and latest issues surrounding consumer class actions. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical strategies to mitigate class action risks.
