Akerman's CFS+ Team will host a Compliance Forum for clients and friends, followed by a cocktail reception.

Topics of discussion will include:

• Prioritizing Compliance on a Budget in the Face of Increasing Regulatory Activity
  We will address strategies and key compliance areas for consumer finance companies, with an eye toward keeping costs in check. This topic is particularly important given increased regulatory scrutiny and a shifting economy. We will also address the practical impact of several recent CFPB actions.
• Arbitration Clause Pros and Cons and Class Action Strategy
  We will cover the benefits and lesser-known costs of including an arbitration clause in your consumer contracts as well as in commercial contracts. The topic will also cover emerging trends in consumer finance class action litigation and arbitration.
