NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Oct 26, 2011) - Recognizing that even seasoned banking and finance attorneys may still struggle to understand affiliate transaction restrictions (ATRs) for banks, Practical Law Company (PLC), a provider of online practical know-how for law firms and law departments, and Goodwin Procter LLP, a national Am Law 50 firm, will be hosting, "Affiliate Transactions for Banks: Your Guide to Requirements," a free webinar to help attorneys quickly spot and resolve ATR issues. The webinar, which takes place November 10, 2011 at 1:00PM ET (10:00AM PT), will explain the legal restrictions and regulatory requirements associated with affiliate transactions. An interactive question and answer session will follow.
During this one-hour presentation, Goodwin Procter partner William E. Stern, Esq. and Jeremy Estabrooks, Esq., Editor, PLC Finance, will address how the ATR rules work and what traps to avoid; how the Dodd-Frank Act changes the rules; and the changes financial institution clients need to know in order to comply.
"Affiliate transaction restrictions for banks are notoriously complex, even for lawyers who deal with them all the time," explained Caroline Danford, Head of Practical Law Company's PLC Finance service. "This webinar will provide banking and financial attorneys with an instructive, high-level overview to keep them up to speed and better equipped to advise their financial institution clients."
