News of the "subprime crisis" is everywhere. This breaking story is intertwined with novel legal, regulatory, and market issues that are unfamiliar to most lawyers. This timely program tackles the basic definitions and parameters of "subprime lending" and the "subprime market;" covers the underlying economic factors that led to the rise and fall of a multi-billion dollar market; examines legal relationships and potential claims among business-side parties; and provides insight into developing legal and regulatory issues that will be with us for months and years to come.
Topics covered include:
- What is "subprime lending," how did the secondary market fund these loans, and how is "subprime" regulated today?
- Why are global capital markets reacting? How does what happens in the securities market drive the availability of credit to consumers?
- How have legal obligations among market participants exacerbated the market downturn?
- The regulation of depository institutions and distinctions between banks and non-banks
- Fallout from the crisis and what to expect: legislation, regulation, enforcement, and litigation
This package contains 2 audio CDs and printed course materials.
Additional co-sponsors of this program include the Consumer Financial Services Committee and the Business Bankruptcy Committee.
