1:00-3:00 PM | Protecting the Transaction Legal Summit
Now in its third year, the Protecting the Transaction Legal Summit returns to RTO World as the industry's premier gathering for legal and compliance professionals across the full spectrum of rent-to-own — traditional RTO dealers, virtual operators, and businesses leveraging the lease-purchase statute. This year's summit takes a deliberate step forward, expanding beyond legal updates into the harder and more consequential conversation: what the industry owes itself in the form of best practices and self-regulation, and what it looks like to build those standards with intention rather than wait for them to be imposed from outside.
Attendees will hear from leading legal and compliance voices on recent developments across the regulatory landscape, but the summit is designed equally as a working forum — a space where owners, operators, inside and outside legal counsel, and compliance specialists can engage directly in shaping the norms and practices the industry needs to carry forward. The underlying conviction driving this year's program is the same one that has animated the summit from the beginning: that an industry capable of governing itself well earns the credibility to defend itself effectively, and that the time to build that architecture is now.
