US and Global Financial Crisis: New Business Opportunities and Pitfalls in a Highly Regulated and Legislative Environment

The current financial crisis has created a wealth of contracting, asset acquisition and other business opportunities. Significant pitfalls exist for the unwary, however, as numerous federal regulatory agencies and Congressional committees eye imposing strict and potentially costly new regulations on businesses. Further, the U.S. government and foreign governments are in agreement that the international financial system and its institutions must be fundamentally reformed, likely resulting in a radically altered global financial landscape. To help you better understand the opportunities and constraints on your business, Holland and Knight’s Financial Recovery Team invites you to a conference/discussion to address these unprecedented legal, regulatory and legislative changes in the U.S. and global markets.

Our Program

This program was recorded from a live broadcast to a number of Holland & Knight offices and online. In addition to our distinguished panelists, members of Holland & Knight’s Financial Recovery Team will discuss the financial rescue legislation, its implementation and what it means for your business.

Panelists will include well-known federal officials from the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, FDIC, the department of Housing and Urban Development and Holland & Knight senior attorneys with years of experience with Congress and federal regulatory agencies. They will discuss the recent actions taken by the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, Securities and Exchange Commission and others in connection with the financial markets crisis.
