Consumer Financial Protection Act: Preemption Questions

In our inaugural web conference, Consumer Financial Protection Act: What Lenders Need to Know, Foley & Lardner LLP provided an overview of the law and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding and a general vision of the changes in store for the industry.

Our second installment in this web series, Consumer Financial Protection Act: Preemption Questions, will focus on preemption standards under the CFPA, the National Bank Act and the Home Owners’ Loan Act. First, we will examine these standards as they apply to national banks and their subsidiaries and affiliates. Second, we will review case law construing the Barnett Bank standard and will cover the new powers of state attorneys general to enforce both state and federal law. Finally, we will examine what is left of the OCC’s Visitorial Rights Rule and Preemption Rule.

Please join us for this program on Thursday, August 26. The program will feature Foley’s CFPA lawyers: Michael C. Lueder, Martin J. Bishop, Christi Adams, and Thomas I. Elkind.  

We hope you can attend. Follow this developing story on the CFSL Bulletin Blog.
