Fundamentals of Banking Law is an intensive two and a half day executive education program designed to familiarize participants with the basics of banking law.
Fundamentals of Banking Law addresses the key policies, concepts and regulations surrounding the financial markets, Dodd-Frank, and the rise of FinTech. Designed as a workshop and lecture-based program, rather than a seminar or conference, Fundamentals of Banking Law is taught by experienced practitioners, academics from leading law schools including Berkeley Law, Boston University, and NYU, as well as former bank regulators.
Program Highlights
Program participants will gain an understanding of:
- The structure and purpose of bank regulation;
- Banks as chartered entities, and entities chartered by the federal government;
- Prudential limitations, including affiliate, loans-to-one-borrower, and loans-to-insider rules;
- Permitted investments and activities of banks, bank holding companies and financial holding companies;
- Insurance, securities and capital market activities, including derivative and swap activities, of banks and bank affiliates;
- FDIC deposit insurance and bank failures;
- Supervision, examination, and enforcement by banking regulators and the expansion of government agencies addressing the practices of banking organizations; and
- How to assess the opportunities and risks surrounding FinTech technologies and companies.
