Hudson Cook Partners to Present at Annual Consumer Financial Services Basics

Hudson Cook partners Becky Kuehn, Jean Noonan and Cathy Brennan are on the faculty of the Eighth Annual National Institute on Consumer Financial Services Basics. The conference, which is taking place October 19-20 in Arlington, Virginia, is presented by the American Bar Association Business Law Section. This annual in-person educational Institute is designed to expose practitioners to key areas of CFS law.

All three attorneys will individually present at the conference, and join other presenters who also have decades of practical experience in consumer finance. The conference utilizes a classroom approach, which is used to review the history and background of CFS law, cover the fundamental laws that apply, and hear from regulators, consumer advocates, and industry representatives on the current state of affairs and what is on the horizon.

On October 19, Becky will present, joined by Daniel Halvorsen with TransUnion in Chicago, on the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They will both address the basis and purpose of the FCRA and the regulation of consumer reporting agencies and users and furnishers of consumer report information.

Jean and Cathy will both present on October 20. During her session on Fair Lending, Jean will discuss credit discrimination, reviewing the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Community Reinvestment Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, as well as the costs and benefits of regulating access to credit.

Cathy will be one of three presenters exploring what lawyers need to know to advise clients about the legal and regulatory hurdles for FinTech entrepreneurs and their financial institution partners. The presenters will outline the basics of compliance for marketplace lenders, emerging payments services and digital currency providers.
