About This Course

Traditional corporate and business lawyers must have a firm grasp on the many regulatory issues which shape corporate law. Banks, however, are not corporate entities but rather are the creations of law, both federal and state. Therefore, it is incumbent upon non-banking attorneys to study the regulatory issues which dictate banks and banking, including investment banking.

This CLE course, designed specifically for non-banking attorneys, will explain what banking is and comprehensively review:

regulatory agencies
relevant statutes
major legislation
holding companies
banks’ organizational structure
restricted transactions
and other regulatory issues
