Financial Institutions & Banking

The Financial institutions and banking sectors are highly regulated in the US and throughout the world. The National Law Review addresses legal issues, compliance concerns, financial regulatory schemes, broker-deals, insolvency and restructuring, and structured transaction negotiations. Both in the national and international realm, financial institutions are highly relied upon for financing, loans, and business deals. Because of this, the Federal Trade Commission, and agencies like the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) highly regulate the industry, and transactions that unfold on a daily basis.

The National Law Review also covers hot topics such as financial services law and FinTech (financial technology). Additionally, we cover topics like bitcoin, cryptocurrency transactions, SEC regulations, blockchain technologies, and compliance under finance laws like the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Additionally, cases and news which is governed under the Federal Reserve Act, the Fair Credit, and Reporting Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and Equal Credit Opportunity Act, are also highly covered on the site.

Readers can learn about new loan transactions, international trade agreements, mortgage loans and bank financing legislation, and other news as it unfolds in the US and around the world. Details that are covered by governmental and regulatory agencies including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), are routinely updated on the site. With ongoing agency news dealing with the CFPB, agency directors, and nominations to financial and banking agencies, the National Law Review constantly adds new cases and newsreaders want to remain informed about.

International banking and financial institutions news is also covered in the National Law Review. UK regulatory framework covered, including the Australian crowd-sourced funding regime, and EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), along with international insolvency, news, and legislation from around the world, which are linked to non-US foreign banks and institutions, are regularly published online.
