The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed on July 21, 2010 to prevent a recurrence of 2008's dramatic implosion of large financial institutions, credit market disruption, taxpayer funded bailouts and an economic recession, but certain banking related provisions of Dodd-Frank have nothing to do with responding to the financial crisis. Moreover, Congressional leaders swept a few things into the 2,319 pages of legislation that are beyond the banking world, making the process of interpreting, drafting and implementing regulations even more complicated and time-consuming for regulators. Written by two noted banking and tax lawyers, this book will serve as a practical guide to help attorneys who represent clients in the financial services industry, and financial industry professionals untangle the complexities of the most noteworthy provisions of this far-reaching law, and the myriad of regulations that have been issued so far in response to this law.

"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

Part I lays out a conceptual framework for managing a retirement portfolio, with an emphasis on anticipating and thus avoiding mistakes such as misjudging risk.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) is the largest, independent regulator of securities firms doing business in the United States, and part of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934's interrelated and comprehensive system for regulating the securities markets. This book gives a comprehensive overview and practical advice to lawyers regarding one segment of FINRA's disciplinary process—sanctions analysis.

"In late 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) convened a public workshop to evaluate the need for changes in the debt collection system, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), to protect consumers better. Based on the workshop record and its experience, the Commission concludes that the debt collection legal system needs to be reformed and modernized to reflect changes in consumer debt, the debt collection industry, and technology. This report sets forth these changes and the modifications to the law the FTC believes are needed to provide better consumer protection without unduly burdening debt collection." - from the executive summary

Since 2008, 2.2 million U.S. homes have been sold via short sales, providing financial relief to strapped homeowners and opportunities for savvy buyers and investors.

Moreover, Congressional leaders swept a few things into the 2,319 pages of legislation that are beyond the banking world, making the process of interpreting, drafting and implementing regulations even more complicated and time-consuming for regulators. Written by two noted banking and tax lawyers, this book will serve as a practical guide to help attorneys who represent clients in the financial services industry, and financial industry professionals untangle the complexities of the most noteworthy provisions of this far-reaching law, and the myriad of regulations that have been issued so far in response to this law.
