Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Summary
Thursday, Jul 22, 2010
On Wednesday, July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This Act is considered by many to be the most sweeping piece of financial reform legislation since the creation of the FDIC and SEC in 1934. While the many existing regulatory agencies now begin the process of drafting regulations, the financial services industry begins a whole new era. The financial services law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP has prepared a summary of this new legislation. We invite you view this enlightened summary by accessing the link below:
