Locke Lord LLP is sponsoring the American Conference Institute’s 14th National Conference on Consumer Finance Class Actions & Litigation. This conference is made up of an unparalleled faculty of federal and state regulatory and enforcement officials, senior in-house counsel, renowned federal and state judges, and leading outside defense counsel who will provide expert advice, critical insights, and comprehensive updates on:
- Adapting to the emerging regulatory and enforcement paradigm, with a focus on how the CFPB is going to impact consume finance litigation going forward;
- Best practices for defending against class actions arising from TCPA, FCRA, FDCPA, loan modifications, foreclosure practices, fee products, credit/debit cards, student loans, and auto loans, and key considerations when making the decision to settle;
- Assessing how the courts are applying Wal-Mart v. Dukes and AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion to consumer finance litigation and determining how best to argue against class certification; and
- Managing and defending against claims of discriminatory lending and assessing the status of ‘disparate impact’ in lending litigation and enforcement.
