Webinar: Consumer Financial Regulatory and Litigation Fallout from the COVID-19 Crisis, with Richard Cordray and John Roddy

Monday, April 6, 2020 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET

How will regulatory agencies like the CFPB, FTC, and State Attorneys General react to the consumer financial impacts of COVD-19? How will state and federal law enforcement agencies and consumer litigation address fraudulent schemes already in play, such as garnishing stimulus payments, predatory lending, price gouging and cybercrimes? How will consumer debt obligations including student loans and mortgages be affected?

In this webinar, special guest speakers Richard Cordray, former Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and author of the recently-published book “Watchdog,” and John Roddy, Partner at Bailey & Glasser, will discuss these and more issues with the leaders of Ballard Spahr’s Consumer Financial Services Group. 

This Webinar, hosted by Ballard Spahr, is open to all Bailey & Glasser clients, prospective clients, and friends.
