In the midst of the deepest global financial crisis since the Great Depression, the banking and financial services industry is facing the likelihood of transformational changes to an already complex regulatory system. With unprecedented federal intervention, the election of a new President, and a new Congress, it’s difficult to predict the changes to come. In this uncertain environment, financial institutions must prepare for a flood of new legislation and regulation aimed at rescuing struggling institutions, stabilizing the financial services system and avoiding future crises of this magnitude. At this new Institute, expert faculty will provide attendees with important background information on the banking law system and financial institutions in general, as well as the latest legislative and regulatory developments stemming from the events of the fall of 2008.

WilmerHale Counsel Sara Kelsey will be a featured speaker at this program. She will speak on the topic of "Receivership, Conservatorship and the Resolution of Insolvent Institutions."
