About the Program
Ponzi schemes, credit default swaps and the tightening of the worldwide credit market have led to global economic volatility. Global losses due to the credit default swaps have been estimated in the range of 60 trillion dollars. Government bailouts worldwide, such as RBS, Fortis, and Citigroup, are reshaping our understanding of quasi-governmental entities and reestablishing the parameters of regulation. This global financial volatility, sometimes referred to as "The Great Recession," has expanded its reach into legal practice areas worldwide —from litigation and securities to bankruptcy, structured finance and real estate. The potential need for bailouts by the governments in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal has led to further market volatility. As the problems in the United States have spread abroad, in-house counsel need to handle the instability in the world financial markets. Our faculty of in-house counsel, compliance officers, regulators and private practitioners will share their insights so that you and your clients and companies can proactively handle any developments resulting from these global events.
Who Should Attend
In-house counsel, financial service providers, compliance personnel, work-out consultants, and secondary market investors should find this program of interest.
Simultaneous live webcast of the New York session is available for individual viewing. Webcast participants will receive streaming audio and/or video of the program, view and print the Course Handbook, and have the ability to submit questions electronically.
