Join Pinchus Raice, Co-Chair of Pryor Cashman’s Financial Institutions Group, and Bridget M. Quinn, Banking Group Head, Mazars USA, in an interactive discussion of how best to navigate the current regulatory environment. The discussion, which will invite audience questions and comments, will cover:

(1) managing the examination process;

(2) effective responses to exit meetings that bring unpleasant surprises, such as proposed ratings downgrades, MRA’s, MRIA’s and threatened enforcement actions;

(3) defending the regulatory record by creating a positive institutional narrative independent of the frequently noxious regulatory narrative;

(4) institutional options, including intra-agency appeals, that are available to challenge CAMELS ratings downgrades and other adverse material supervisory determinations;

(5) how to respond to a regulatory demand that the institution sign a consent order, including negotiating strategies and formal administrative challenges to unwarranted or overreaching orders; and

(6) the availability of federal court challenges to unjustified CAMELS ratings and otherwise arbitrary and capricious regulatory actions and conduct.

The event will be followed by networking, hors-d'oeuvres and cocktails. To register, please click here.
