A Closer Look At Consumer Finance Law In 2017, And Beyond
Partner Alan Wingfield and Associate Amir Shachmurove are published in Law360 for their byline, “A Closer Look At Consumer Finance Law In 2017, And Beyond.” The pair provide a snapshot of notable developments in class action adjudication, background screening, debt collection, credit reporting and more. They write, “In 2017, as in 2016, consumer financial services still ranked as one of this nation’s most thoroughly regulated industries. For those companies confronting the prospect of a governmental agency’s enforcement action or one more plaintiff’s suit, addressing regulatory compliance, navigating the minutiae of regulatory supervision, or weighing major as well as minor transactions, a year that began with definite promise instead concluded with much still contested and many threats newly ascendant. … It is a tale of grand transformations, followed by unexpected counter-developments, of expectations repeatedly stymied by actual events.”
